I've got 65 emails in 18 hours, all of them delivery failures...
I haven't opened any viruses, I'm just guessing that MyDoom has just spammed the hell out of my domain sending loads of emails with my email as the return address...
I've got a Freeserve account so any emails to my domain come to me, I'm getting all these emails sent to different addresses though, ie mary@[username].fsnet.co.uk, pete@[username].fsnet.co.uk.
Most just say that the delivery was failed (meaning that many more were getting through) but I've had a few bouce after the virus was detected telling me the details...

I suppose there's nothing I can do, but how could it use my email address? Where would it have got it from?

Chances are it either got your [username] randomly or there's a list somewhere of Freeserve's sub-domains and it got it from that.
