Is anybody else getting bounce notifications from mail they never sent?  I
am finding a bunch of notifications of bounced messages supposedly sent by
"Caleb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" and "Katelyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" (and a couple
others).  They are evidently being sent to hundreds of addresses, and of
course the bounces come back to me.

Each email has a hyperlink to "http://accfree12.com";, which as far as I can
tell doesn't exist.  The bad news is that if enough of this happens, I fear
I will be blacklisted from some SPAM blockers.

Several questions:

1. Is this happening to anybody else?
2. Any idea how to track down the perpetrators?
3. How do I check SPAM blockers to make sure I'm still legit?

Joe
