This is quite common, and I too have seen an increase from <random letters>@mydomain recently. It annoys me that all the DSNs get frozen in my queue, but what to do? One company I worked for in the UK had the mail server configured to simply drop any DSN that it could not delivered on the first attempt. That does keep the queues clean, but what about a genuine DSN that could not be delivered on the first attempt? What is more likely to get you in trouble is when they use a genuine email address in another domain as the sender, that way your DSNs will be delivered but to the wrong person.
