That's why I think this is just some evil assault which is not related
to spam. I already saw floods of messages that knocked down my servers,
and obviously it was not aimed to be readen at all: mail with wrong sender
addresses in my dimain sent to random wrong addresses with real domains: I got
crushed by my own postmaster notifications caused by remote site's mailer 
daemons messages hitting invalid addresses in my domain. Evil, isn't it?
