Not sure where that came from, but yes, I've been a victim a few times. When this happened (quite a while ago already) I did not know of any true countermeasures, so I just sat them out, and filtered the error mails to a seperate folder. SPF is very cool, but until the moment where every MTA works with SPF, it will not prevent the sending of e-mail from fake e-mailaddresses. Using SPF of course will help in the big picture.
