SMPT-Boxes fill Up

I constantly get mail with the following content "MESSAGE FATAL ERROR Error Message ID: 0006F32F Automatic notifications must be made DEAD MAIL if unroutable. Dead message will be found in the Outbound Work Queue" and my SMPT-MTA outbound box fills up with hundreds of unroutable mail in just one day. My Norton Anti-Virus for Notes can't catch anything. The culprit appears to be one particular address which is hiding while generating constantly outbound mails with bogus addresses. I only survive refreshing the SMPT-box, deleting the error messages in the mail-file and turn off the SMPT service. Others in the same domain are not affected; it is only my address. Anybody seen such a thing lately?

It sounds like a 'spammer' rather than a virus but having said that, The virus loaded messages that I have received lately have all been from Norton 'protected' users so you never know. Not much help I realise but not being a Notes admin limits the scope a bit. You will need to post the question in the Lotus Notes forum if you have not already done so, The response there should be better informed.
