Hi Mike,

thanks again for the detailed instructions, and sorry about the delay in 
following it up.

Here is a tracking URL for one of the messages I received recently:
http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z937307358ze15961079deba7261d7636c948c79feez

In order to avoid potential confusion, perhaps I should say that I am 
not particularly concerned about those message delivery notifications 
themselves - what I am worried about is that my domain name appears to 
be used by something/someone to sending out spam (and virus?) messages.

Do you have any advise on how I should proceed in order to 'clear my name'?

Thank you.

Herbert Eppel
