Outlook will periocically send a e-mail to a large number of addresses that
only has the word QUIT in the body of the message. Eventually, after about
10 of these e-mails, my service provider freezes my account for 24 hours.
Any idea what is causing this to happen?

A virus most likely, unless you are using some utility that sends automated
mail.
Are you 100% sure outlook is doing it? Are the messages in the outbox and/or
sent folder?

Since Outlook has no function to "periodically send an e-mail", you'll have
to check with the maker of whatever 3rd party add-on you installed into
Outlook that does the scheduling for the bulk/spam mailing.

That your account gets locked for 24 hours means you are violating the Terms
of Use for your *personal* e-mail account with your unidentified e-mail
provider. You exceeded how many e-mails they permit you send per day. That
you only send 10 looks like you are actually sending them multiple times and
that is what the mail server counts. Sending an item multiple times is
often causes by interference by the superfluous e-mail scanning module in an
anti-virus program.
