[thelist] forged email address

[Adrian Fischer]

Hi all,

I have been getting bounced emails with me as the from address.  I haven't
sent them so I figured someone was forging my address for Spam purposes.  I
contacted my host and got this reply:
<snip>
It looks like someone is sending out Spam with a forged address at
logo-logic.com. Unfortunately, there's not a lot you can do to prevent
this; if you can determine who is actually sending the messages, you
could consider legal action, but most likely that will be difficult,
expensive and / or impossible.

surely there must be something I can do.  Sooner or later someone is going
to get pissed off with getting Spam from my address and do something.

Can it be stopped.

This is the type of bounce message I'm getting:
