I have to deal with this all the time. Some spammer or zombie is sending
out emails from @yourdomain.com and there's not much you can do about it.
You might consider adding SPF records to your DNS. If you have a catch-all
address, you might consider temporarily disabling it. I also use
milter-sender on my boxen which blocks a BUNCH of these.
