I'm used to, on occasion, getting a failed delivery message from an e-mail

over the place.
Has anyone ales seen this type of spam in their mail accounts or is it just
that some ass face out there in spam land decided to use my mail address
for a while?
For some reason, your email address has probably shown up on lists of email
addresses that spammers forge mail from. They used to do this for people
who complain about spam, but any more it seems to just be random.
I just checked, and I have about 35 out of the 8000 spams in my week old
spam folder.
I don't know why, sometimes I'll have periods where I get more of these
than real messages. You probably just got tagged onto a single spam that's
been fairly "successful".
