I have a wildcard for my domain ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and I've received three of these today. Here's an example of one:

So the prevailing theory is that these messages are attempts to find domains that can be abused for sender address forgery? I wonder how these wretched villains (spammers) are tracking this. Do you think they're sitting on compromised mail servers and earmarking domains from which they receive "250 OK" for obviously non-existent e-mail addresses?
