I know this because I keep getting bounced or blocked emails or out of office replies to my catch all inbox.
Needless to say, this is going to reflect badly on my domain when I have had nothing to do with this.
What would you suggest I do about this because frankly, I can't think of anything that would stop this person from continuing to abuse my domain name.

and then as wyweb says just live with it ..you cant help it nor do anything about ..
it it may very well be zombies using your addys as spoofed send and running everything they find in address books from all over the entire world via trojans phoning home to the boss ..
and being told "use all found addys , run spam" ..
happens all the time ..has been happening for years ..and as long as end users don't have to pass a competency or a "do you have triple digit IQ..prove it ..go to next step" or some such test to connect a computer to the tubes ..it will keep on happening ..
people doing stupid things that have unpleasant consequences for others...
it's like death and taxes ..
Between SPF, Spamassasin and tarpitting/greylisting you can reduce general SPAM by double digit percentages. Backscatter and joe job tend to be multiple IP's and subject based filtering is sometimes more effective.
As always YMMV. Some big $$$$ anti-SPAM measures outperform open source solutions on certain types of SPAM.
