Returned emails

Today getting a massive increase of returned emails from addresses that I have not posted to.
Is there a general increase on other peoples email accounts? Is plusnet under another attack on their email server or is it just me?

Re: Returned emails

This is called Backscatter.  It is when a spammer users your email address to send out their spam.  All the undeliverables then get sent to you.  It usually dies down after a short time.
