There is nothing you can do, and neither can the admins of .Mac.
Email is inherently insecure. You can't prevent some one to send email
claiming to be you - just like any one can send snail mail /
paper-and-pencil-mail claiming to be you - that's just the way it is.
We need a completely new infrastructure for email, but that's not going
to happen any time soon...
The best thing to do to avoid this type of problem is to stay away from
people using PC's. Don't ever give a PC user your email address, and
never send email to a PC user... ;)
Next time you have a question like this one, why not take it to a
better forum - like the Mac OS X Talk mailing list from Omni Group?

I know this is way off topic but I need help. someone is spoofing my
.mac email address and sending out SOBIG infested email with my name,
and I keep getting the bounced back messages. Is there anything I
can do. I can't find a contact address at the .mac web page.
