...is that the account was suspended for spamming. Looks like someone managed to hack into the email facilities (which I don't use) and turned it into a spam site. They also appear to have changed the passwords to lock me out, but hopefully that will be sorted fairly quickly.

Later: Looks like the passwords weren't changed, I just forgot they were case sensitive. Hopefully this will turn out to have happened without the account security having been otherwise penetrated, I think that may be possible.

This is unfortunately someone using my site itself, not just a spoofed header. I have no idea how it's happening, that's techy stuff, but 1000+ emails an hour were going out.

Somebody was out to burn you. Hope your host got what information on the guy they could and sent it off to the authorities.

I really doubt it was anything personal - I think that something wasn't set up correctly, allowing someone else to use it as a relay for spam.
