Silly tech question (about spam, doh)

A spammer (or a swarm of spambots from hell) is sending out junk e-mails using a return address in the form fakename@sf-f.org.il to various non-existant users, and I’m getting hit by the auto-generated “undeliverable mail” e-mails that silly mailer programs produce.
Then there are the virus-blocker messages (a file you “sent” was blocked as a virus), and the silliest Message you sent blocked by our bulk email filter.
Is there any way to stop this or mitigate the annoyance? I doubt anyone reads the Lazyweb requests. Maybe there’s a spam FAQ.

It’s remarkable that e-mail survives, considering how broken it is. Maybe because anything else is even more broken.

These messages are all alike. They have a pattern. So what would Eric Lumely do? Probably something with a spam filter.

I.
