What's been happening to us is :

The bad guys craft a spam message and spoofs the sender address to be let's say user1@foo.com and sends it to a completely made up and not real recipient not.a.real.user@example.com. My system accepts the mail then sends back a bounce message to user1@foo.com because the user does not exist. Because of the reputation of example.com, the message gets sent through and the victim, user1@foo.com, gets spam in their inbox.

The site wouldn't let me link to the wiki on it because I'm a new member here, but it exists.
