Spam bounces ‘o plenty

I've got dozens of "Mail delivery failed" messages in my Inbox this morning, looks like a spammer decided to use my email address as the "From:" address. Gee, thanks.

    Jim,

    I’ve been getting hundreds of them per day for a couple of weeks now.

    They’re not using my mail server, just my address.

    I suggested (on twitter, only half jokingly) that we set up our
    own network of anti-spam machines that DoS the spam-sending
    slave/drone networks.

    Sounds like a fun idea, until the cops get involved and we’re
    the only ones that get caught. ;-)
