The server is suddenly receiving thousands of email a day, from postmasters! It appears that some spam lord has decided that my domain would bea good one for spoofing as the sender address of his garbage. Every one of his spam messages that generates an error message (user does not exist, mailbox full, spam blocking programs, etc) sends the reply to MY SERVER.
You might try configuring SPF information into your DNS. This is supposed to help the people being spammed by forged mail containing your domain reject the spam, rather than bouncing it back to you.
Here in the US, if you can show damages larger than $2000, that's when it becomes useful to talk to the local police or even the FBI; below that dollar figure, computer abuse/fraud doesn't really register. :-(
