In investigating what to do about it, I have run across a few

is the Right Way.
I, too, have been getting hammered with lots of bounces from spoofed
messages using my domain(s). Unfortunately, I don't know if either of
the things you proposed (SPF and Domain Keys) would make a difference
here. The bounce messages are coming from the poor recipients of the
spam, and at that point the message has already been bounced-- SPF and
DK are really intended to "validate" legitimate messages. If the
receiving mail servers were using them, you wouldn't be seeing the
bounces because they would have already blocked/filtered the spam.
This being said, should I simply configure my mail server to send all
these sorts of messages to /dev/null? What implications arise from
doing that? Will my domain wind up blacklisted as a spammer if I
simply bury my head in the sand and ignore the problem?
