    Are you sure that the bounced emails that you've gotten recently aren't from
    the Mydoom virus? We have also been bombarded with NDR's, but it's because
    the virus is spoofing email addresses from our domain. You might want to
    look at the bouce back message and determine if this is the same issue that
    the original poster is experiencing.
