How do i stop mails generated by email spoof ?
Now a days i am receiving lot of spam mails generated by my id to my id. I have Exchange 2003 Server and Outlook 2007 client. I scanned my laptop for viruses, spyware, malware but it is not infected. My observation is that even when my laptop is off and when i switch it on, in my mailbox i can see lot of spam mails which are generated by my id, sent time of these mails was when my laptop was switched off. Can anybody help me with a permanent solution to get rid of this problem ?

There is no real way to stop spoofing except to delete the messages as they arrive. To accomplish this, you can simply define a filter that will delete messages based on specific values in the email message header. In our case, we set the header to delete messages sent from the MAILER-DAEMON address.
If you need to handle a specific type of e-mail message in a special way, you may want to customize some message filters on Outlook. This will ensure that messages tagged as an example: "SPOOF" will be placed in your junk mail folder.
