Somehow a mail has been sent from my email account titled "foto" and it appears that it has been sent to what seems like 100's of recipients all of which are unknown to me ?? They are obviously just automatically genereated and don't exist as I keep getting "Mailer Daemon" messages saying unable to deliver. It has been like this for 3/4 days now and there is no let up. I must get in excess of over 1000 "undelivered" messages every day. If somebody can help me, I would be most appreciative.

I doubt you have been "hacked".

In all probability, a spammer has simply used your email address in the "from:" field of one of his campaigns.

To be doubly sure, change the password on the email account in question.
