There's an even nastier one. I've had spammers who get a hold of my e-
mail address/domain name (not too difficult to do) and start using it
as the "sender" in their bulk e-mails. Then you start getting tons of
rejected mail back that you never sent. Eventually, I had to cancel
my address/domain because it became such a big problem.
