EVIL [ long string of expletives deleted ] SPAMMERS!!!!!

Grr! Arrg! The spammers have been getting on my nerves even more than usual of late. Firstly, there was a bunch sending their spam with forged From addresses at one of our domains. This of course resulted in me getting piles of complaints from people who don't know how to report spam properly. This evening, however, something even worse came along - a bunch of spammers who have their servers configured with another of our domain names on it - in such a way that any bouncebacks from their spam then end up getting bounced on to me. I got about 2,400 of these in under 40 minutes before I blacklisted their IPs completely (and I can see from the reject logs that they're still flooding in). There went two hours of my evening, and doubtless this will interfere in me getting real work done tomorrow...
