When Your Email Get Used For Spamming

Enter your name and email only to get information
Today, one of my email on my other domain was used for spamming. That's not new and I often get 1 or 2 per day. But today, I received about 1000+ email in 1-2 hour to that email like Mail not delivered, AutoNotify, Returned mail ....They all used the domain but with a non existent email like toto{@}mydomain.com.
That email is not normally busy and so, I never had to add a filter but I did activate the junk mail filter in Thunderbird.
If you ever get in that situation, you could add this in a filter when the From or Sender fields are:
- deamon
- postmaster
- host-master
- hostmaster
This is only a partial list and you may add to it.
The downside is that you may get a true Returned mail if you made a mistake sending a real email . You could however make a second filter to catch the whole email used in the body of the message.
What thing I can say is that a lot of people are in vacation on this Black Friday. I go a lot out of the office email
