For the past hour, my inbox has been filled up. I'm getting about 500 emails an hour. Someone is spamming using my email address. I'm getting all of these emails that say failure notice.
It seems they're sending emails to people and the invalid addresses are bouncing back.
How do you stop this? What can I do?

Nothing.
It's happened to me a few times. At one point i had 15,000 emails in my inbox.
After that I registered / used spf on my mail servers:

No problem.
Be careful though, make sure to read about how it works. There are some limitations of what you can do once you registered servers.

Too bad, nothing you can do about it, but for the moment you can set up spam filter rules to keep your inbox empty. Set up a rule that places any message containing "delivery failure" directly in your trash folder.

Spam Arrest is my best friend.
Based on previous thread(s) here, people either seem to love it or hate it.

i've been getting a lot of spam lately but I know why. couple weeks ago I "pissed off" an affiliate that was ripping us off. they signed my email account up for some amateur adult dating site and god knows what else. ever since my email has been blitzkreiged with spam.
People just don't like me.
