I am not a spammer. My sisters personal computer was attacked by a virus. This self replicating virus sent it self to everybody in her address book AND then sent to addresses made up by combing all the bits before the "@" with all the domains after the "@". Her problem you might say, but for some reason it picked the domain from my electronic mail address as the "from" address, which happens to my own domain (the from address it chose was "[email protected]").
I am now receiving bounce messages from all over the place. Does anybody know if there anything I can do to make sure my domain does not get black listed?
If anybody received a copy of this virus apparently from my domain can I apologise on behalf of my sister.

Happy, before you would be added to a black list, the black lists owners would scan any and all email servers on your domain to check if they could be used for relaying messages. If you are not operating an open relay you shouldn't have a problem. These people know that "from" addresses are often hacked by viruses and make allowances.
In short, make sure that your domain is not operating an open relay.
Merry Christmas.
