The bad news: some spammer is sending out a substantial quantity of spam (a couple hundred a day) that purports to be from our domain, so we're getting all those bounces.

The good news: they seem to have hooked upon a single false email address that all that email is coming from. Don't know where they came up with that particular permutation (it doesn't look randomly generated, but it's not one we've ever used), but pretty much all of the current spam is coming from it. So filtering out the bounces is nicely easy...

the other day I went from a couple hundred spam (of the bounced variety) to a couple of thousand. Eek. A talk with my ISP got them to kill everything not to a small numbers of email addresses.

Having mail take 10 minutes to download some 4200 messages was a bit of a shock really. Good thing we have can-spam in this country, eh?
