Spammed!
Today I am getting enormous number of messages (well, all of them go to spam.gz automatically) from mailer-daemons and postmasters as "Undelivered messages".
They are coming from completely different networks but all of them (as analysis shows) are "my" bounced back messages.
More precisely, these "my" messages are usual spam crap with spoofed my return address:
Apparently this someone actually is a widely distributed in the space villain: all the original messages are coming from very different computers/networks, names vary too (but as far as I noticed all have numerical component) and they are different in content.
The is only one common denominator: all this crap originates from Windoze computers using either
M$ Outluck Excess or (rarely) Bat:
From: "Socorro Crowder16450" <ivrii@math.toronto.edu>
To: <pjk11@scasd.k12.pa.us>
Subject: Socorro, We know what the women want.

Probably the good network policy would be that Messages from windoze computers sent to wrong address should not bounce to the sender but just discarded and no notification should be sent unless the declared return address matches to the real domain in 'Receiced' field
