There are a series of posts in news.admin.net-abuse.email over the past
few days from people who are seeing their email address or
$random@xxxxxxxxxxx forged as the return path on spam. I had the same
thing happen some time ago by a porn spammer. I don't run a catchall but
noticed lots of <> bounces in the maillog and turned on the catchall to
see what it was. Tons of bounces from AOL by the porn spammers at
sex2go.com.

"Spam with falsified return addresses

For some weeks a new Spam wave rolls: As senders from the so far unknown
sender arbitrary, existing E-Mail addresses are registered. "

You can plug in the URL at Babelfish.
