[thelist] Hotmail trashes e-mail

and the irony of it all is that my hotmail account has ben hijacked/hacked
by someone/something and is being used to send out spam as my inbox now gets
filled up by a few hundred rejection notification messages every few days.
Of course reporting it to hotmail seems to have drawn a blank - no surprise
there then

even after changing my password it has continued
Does this mean that the emails are being sent from my account or just my
name is being used or spoofed for the reply.,
I'd hate to lose this account as it is a meaningfull email adress ie my name


Has anyone come across anything like this before? Any suggestions
appreciated :-)
