My mother had here e-mail adress hijacked a couple of months ago. Sh'e check her mail and find hundreds of bounced messages--thousands. Apparently something or someone had hijacked it and was spamming with her address. The only way she or the ISP could do anything was to close here e-mail address and issue her another address.
