This has been happening to me for many months (my address being forged).
Unfortunately, due to the design of Internet mail protocols, it's an
incredibly easy technique to exploit -- probably the biggest barrier is the
moral one, and we know spammers don't have to jump very far over that.

I think it's a lost cause.  I can only hope that folks on the receiving end
just ignore it and don't remember my name... ;)
