I'd say so. Looks like someone pretending to be you. Is
adah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx a real email address or do you have a catchall?
If so, I'd turn off the catchall for a while to save some bandwidth.
203.251.62.8 is blocked by spamcop.
http://spamcop.net/w3m?action=checkblock&ip=203.251.62.8
Probably an open proxy or relay.
There's another header example at the spamcop URL above.
I've had my domain forged in the past, but I don't use a catchall and
just notice some nonsense@xxxxxxxxxxx in the maillog as No such user.
