100 Email Bouncebacks - Welcome to Backscattering

distefano links to a story on Computerworld, excerpting: "E-mail users are receiving an increasing number of bounceback spam, known as backscatter, and security experts say this kind of spam is growing. The bounceback e-mail messages come in at a trickle, maybe one or two every hour. The subject lines are disquieting: 'Cyails, Vygara nad Levytar,' 'UNSOLICITED BULK EMAIL, apparently from you.' You eye your computer screen; you're nervous. What's going on ? Have you been hacked? Are you some kind of zombie botnet spammer? Nope, you're just getting a little backscatter — bounceback messages from legitimate e-mail servers that have been fooled by the spammers."

This story was preceded less than a month ago: https://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/04/08/2258246 No this message is a backscatter automated post so technically it's not a dupe.

Extension?

"go and get extensions to your obviously miniscule penises "

I think one of their products can help them with that.
