returned email

[Robert Meyer]

You're getting bounces from a spammer that is forging his headers.  This is one
of the most reprehensible tactics of the spammers.  The spammer has stuffed
your address into the 'reply-to' and 'from' headers of the mail messages he's
sending  out.  You get the bounce 'cuz he doesn't want to deal with all of the
hate mail.

Cheers!
