Why do I keep getting back email that I sent failure?

I keep getting MAILER-DAEMON failure notice emails in my Yahoo?

  • I hardly ever use my Yahoo email but for some reason I keep getting these emails marked MAILER-DAEMON failure notice. I scanned one of the emails and then opened it and it says one of my emails failed to send and it was going to some AOL email that I have never heard of. I checked my Sent folder and there is nothing in it but the stuff that I have sent over a year ago. Has my email somehow been compromised? It looks like somebody is sending emails to people and putting the From as my email address but nothing is being sent from my actual email.

  • Answer:

    Your account got compromised. First change your password. Account help.http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/acct/in%E2%80%A6 for just about anything to do with your account. Then run anti Virus and Anti Spyware. Should be fine then.

This is often caused by malware on your computer You need to do the following and it normally stops 1 - change your email password 2 - run full scans for viruses, spyware and malware. A virus scan alone is not enough. You also need to run an anti-malware program. If you don't have one, you can download Malwarebytes for free. Then delete all infected files 3 - after running the scans, delete your browsing history and cookies and empty your cache 4 - restart your computer That normally stops it
