Donna, I would check your headers closely.
.... what you are reporting might well be
the effect of someone "stealing" your
name/address, and sending spam out.
Then, all the bounces come back and
hit you ... even though you didn't
originate them.
This is because the internet email
usually returns bounces to the "from"
rather than the header provided address.
In turn, this is because some geeks
prefer to stay anonymous. An email
standard that would prevent this is
not that hard. They just don't want it.
