Hmmm - I was hoping SC would save me that bit :-(

Let's ignore the From field. Even the To field. I have effective spam
filters, but am getting HUNDREDS (it might be thousands by now, I stopped
counting after a  few days) of bounced emails crashing through from
non-existent mailboxes around the globe which have artificial names
prepended to MY domain name as the return address i.e.
from RFC822 >>  "Return-path" ":" route-addr ; return address
(whether also the From address is irrelevant)
Many even have MY domain name as the HELO/EHLO name (actual this is
irrelevant, but shows the lengths that someone is going to in order to
implicate me).
One picked at random starts as follows:
|------------------------- Failed addresses follow: ---------------------|
 <frank.XXX at t-online.XXX>
   unknown user / Teilnehmer existiert nicht
 <fotoXXX at t-online.XXXe>
   550 Mailbox quota exceeded / Mailbox voll.
 <franz.XXX at t-online.XXX>
   unknown user / Teilnehmer existiert nicht

I believe that I AM the target of an "'original' joe.com type of action". If
I am wrong, then shoot me down.
