Spammers Day?

I wonder today is it SPAMMERS day. This morning at about 8am, my client phone me up and said their MS Outllok is downloading 6000+ emails which are all the undeliverable email return. I quickly have to log in to the server and help them to delete all those unwanted emails. After my lunch time, I found out that my gmail account keep on filtering over 1000+ similar email to my old Malaysian ISP email account (I use the gmail to download this POP3 emails).

Unluckily now there are still no way to prevent this kind of email problem.

How this spam works? They use your email address as the FROM part and they sent millions of emails out from zombie server, then when all this emails blocked or rejected by the TO user account, it's all being bounced back to the sender (which will be the email address at the FROM part)

If someone knows the way to solve it, please let us know. cheers!!!
