[PLUG] OT: Imaginet SPAMambush


I recently got a message from the above server/filtering service 
indicating that a piece of mail that I allegedly sent, with a common 
spam subject ("Work from home . . . ") haad been sent to one of their 
subscribers.  Apparently the way the system works, the spam gets 
intercepted, and a message is sent to the sender to confirm that it is 
a real address.  I would have to manually visit a URL to release and 
finish sending the message.  Apparently a spammer is using my address.

Is this common? I suppose I would have no way of knowing had not this 
filter been set up.  Knowing this, is there anything I can/should do?
