Why am I getting so much spam from/to my domain all of a sudden?

Why am I getting so much spam from/to my domain all of a sudden?

am 18.12.2007 01:00:30 von Ohmster

For some reason, I am getting hundreds of bounced emails that seem to be
hammering my domain all of a sudden, lettermanstationery.com. I have
gotten almost 300 emails every time I check my mail, several times a
day. Is it that some spammer has picked my domain and has just started
hammering me or do you think that something more insidious is going on
like my server is compromised? I run Fedora Core 6 with
sendmail-8.13.8-2 installed.

Here are some of the maillogs that show the domain:

Does anybody have any idea of what is going on her or how I can figure
this out? Something to worry about or just a lousy spammer hammering my
box? I can see no programs runnning that are not accounted for or eating
up the CPU.
