Tactical baseball bat at close range? :)
I and a number of coworkers are getting similar bounces, except the
spammers are actually using our full email addresses as the from address.
The first few cases of this, I wrote off to things like KLEZ...but
recently I've gotten actual spam bounces where my work email address was
the original from.
I suppose it could possibly still be something like KLEZ and it's grabbing
a spam from their inbox and sending that out with a forged from.
There are known spamming viruses making their rounds that I believe behave
like klez and others that use known email addresses. A couple of our
customers have been infected by them and have had their computers
unknowingly sending out spam.
