My mom had a similar problem where someone had hijacked her e-mail address
and was spamming thousands of people using her return address. She was
getting bounced messages from old or unused e-mail addresses---thousands.
Her ISP was made aware of the situation and was unable to stop it. She had
to change e-mail addresses.
