Ok, there are now 1149 of these sitting in my DI folder. That's the amount 
in under an hour. I wonder how many more I'll get?

I'll forward some spam to you if you want to go for a record :)

   Lol, I think I'm going to get the record easy with this! There are 1371 
now, so no thanks, my friend. :) I wonder what's happening? Do you know the 
emails I mean? It's those Mailer-Daemon/mail delivery subsystem emails.

Possibly some spammer is using your address as a From, but targeting 
invalid addresses on those servers?

 Yep, I think you're right. I've checked quite a few of them just now, and 
every one I opened has our works email address in the 'from' field. That's 
funny because our main competitors are now operating from China, and these 
are coming from China. Hmm...

Reminds me of the time when one of my University lecturers had forwarded his 
Engineering Dept email to his University email address.  Thing was, he 
forgot that he already had forwarded his main email address to the eng dept. 
server!  I turned up for a meeting with him while he was on the phone to IT 
saying he had several thousand more new mails each time he tried to open his 
Inbox :-)

Time for your sysadmins to do some real work, methinks
