Page 1 of Hi Jacked Email?

I`ve always had some but I am now getting loads of
"Mailer-daemon" at all different domain names stating failure to deliver email, returned mail etc
Does this mean that my email has been hijacked in anyway or is this just another Phishing technique?

...and while we`re on the subject how do people manage to get my email address appearing as the sender.

edit: another 49 received in the hour since this was posted

I also had this about a month ago,
If you google your email address (put quotation marks around it, eg. "setagllib[at]moc.liamtoh") and see it in the results, thats where they probably found yours, as to stopping it - you can`t as far as i`m aware.

Spammers are turning to real email addresses as they think they will be accepted/read more often than random ones.
In the end I had to set up a rule in my email client to automatically delete returned emails that bounce back.


Hope this helps. I only had them for a few days, one major day and then the rest were just trickling back.
