Hi Ambros, What you are seeing could be the result of your new list on Yahoo. Your email address is now on your Yahoo list and spammers skim those lists for email addresses. Chances are you're going to be seeing a lot more of those types 'bounces' from now on. Spammers use the addresses they skim from lists, newsgroup postings, webpages etc to forge outgoing email addresses to millions of unlucky recipients. They are now using your email address as a 'From:', knowing that any bounces will go to you and not them. There's nothing you can do about it. Once you created your Yahoo list, you really publically started advertising your email address. The only way to minimize spam and things like email forging is to never post, write or advertise your email address anywhere including webpages. Even then, you would be surprised how the spamemrs can still get your email address. Since you weren't one sending that email, just delete the bounces and chalk it up to experience on the internet.
