Hello, I have been getting a lot of emails the last 5 days. about 90% are emails that are a return receipt from me to an email address that I am guessing is no good, or an email that has been compromised. So I am getting most of the emails with deferred or emails that cannot be delivered. How can I stop this? Closing my account or changing my email address. My email address is linked to my companies web site. Thank you Greg

could is be backscatter? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter_(email)

If so just waiting it out is the best solution.
