This is called a "dictionary attack", where a spammer is guessing E-mail
addresses at your domain. You could add a "nobody" alias that would accept
all mail to users at your domain (whether or not they exist), which would
cause the spammer problems (either they will figure out what you did and
stop, or they will have a list containing mostly invalid addresses). Or,
you could use IMGate ( http://imgate.meiway.net ) to help minimize the abuse.
