In my case i have seen aprox 5000 bounces from mailservers
around the world during the last week bouncing back to my mailserver..

The sending address in the mail that bounced is still
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> where "someuser" changes all the time..
"someuser" does not exist at all..

Would that still have something to do with SOBIG.e?

In some cases there seems to be a attachement. In other cases
there is viagra ads within..
