 * About 30 minutes ago, I started receiving emails containing failure to send emails
   messages. They were from my domain but an email address that I never created.
   All my email functions are working fine.
 * I have not installed any plugin today. I updated WSD security today. I installed
   another antivirus plugin after the emails started. Both say that my wordpress
   is fine.
 * Could this be a backend hack connected to the server?
 * Cheers

 * I checked google – [http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=www.projectcloud.info](http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=www.projectcloud.info)
 * No malware,however, the site checks for a newsconvert.ru which is a site known
   to distribute malware according to google.
