Thanks for you answer, the spam is slowing down a little bit.

Thanks

You can't stop it, unless you know who is sending them out.

With just about any email client I can send emails out with a reply to
address of anyone I want.  I commonly do this to make all my replies gt to a
new email address I'm transitioning to or something like that.  The mail
server, if configured correctly should stop it, by only allowing email
addresses with the reply to and account name to be the same, but some are
not setup that way, making it difficult to stop this stuff.  Usually the
spammers have there own mail server anyway, so they would turn this off.  It
happens all the time.  Just keep an eye out on the black list spam sites to
unblacklist your domain if it gets black listed.

In the headers of the emails you may be able to find the IP address of the
sender, or sending server, then look up who owns that IP address via whois,
or dnsstuff or something, then contact the owner of the IP Address (usually
the ISP) and tell the what's going on.  In my experience though, usually the
ISP aren't too concerned about it, or they take to long to do anything about
it and the spammer moves on.

Sorry and good luck,
Mark
