Hi. This is the qmail-send program at plesk.rackshack.net.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<info@cashblast4us.com>:
This address no longer accepts mail.

This isn't being sent from anywhere on our network, so you can't do much about it. Looking at the attachment (.scr), it's clearly one of those internet worms that just spoofs everyone in the infected computers address book and sends out emails at random trying to get them to open the infected files. I'd just ignore it, as it has no relavence on your email address.
