Forgery is common by these criminals when spamming. I turned on my
catchall to see why I was getting lots of mail attempts from AOL and
they were all bounces from these spammers:

Then make them real aliases. Anyone who mistypes an email address will
get a bounce saying no such user. You can modify that message to say
please check the email address and try again. Allowing catch-all means
you get these as well as thousands of spams when someone decides to do a
dictionary attack on your server.

I doubt they're coming from you. The headers of the original message
would show that.
