I've tried the virus option and it would be great if it were :), but it's
not a virus...I've looked into changing the SPF through the DNS, which I
will hopefully be able to finish tomorrow. I will certainly write a note in
the forum again once I've succeeded (even though it's unlikely to be a total
success)! I will take the advice given about sending out an email explaining
what has happened to all of our subscribers and will have to keep my fingers
crossed, that it'll stop.

The funny thing is, the email that is being sent out, advertises to send
your website information to 7,5 Million people!!! This is a total farce of
course, because our site is a womens sport site and they are advertising
themselves as the emailadvertisingcompany! So annoying!

But thank you all for your comments!
