  You may be a victim of backscatter (

password anyway.

Hi,
After awaking this morning, I found my inbox riddled with failed delivery
notices from my service provider. Wierd thing is I haven't sent emails from
the address in weeks.
Does this mean my inbox has been compromised? If so, is there anything I can
do to reclaim it and maintain it without this issue occuring again?

Jacob.
