Started yesterday afternoon (1/21/08), my grumpyolddude email address has been inundated with "delivery failure" and "bulk mail blocked" messages.... about a dozen yesterday... I woke up ro about 75 more, and they're still coming in... approaching a hundred. Nine more as I typed this.

I do not recognize any of the addressees. My "sent" mail shows no evidence that I sent the emails, but the data shows my email as the return address.

I've sent an abuse report to ATT/Yahoo, but I'm hoping someone here could offer some advice on other action I can take, short of closing the account and starting with a new ID. I fear that I'm on the verge of being labelled a spammer, while nothing could bve further from the truth.

Help me Obi Wan... You're my only hope!
