It seems that the board address has been used by some spammer as the "From:" header, which is routinely faked when sending spam. Error messages about invalid recipients are sent to the From address.
It happened to me also. I received some hundreds of emails per day for a week or so, and then it stopped. There's little one can do about it.

This mail is of the type
De : notexist@ya.com À: board@wikimedia.org Sujet: Usuario Inexistente / User does not exist. El usuario pahdedgara@jazzfree.com no es un usuario valido / You sent mail to pahdedgara@jazzfree.com . That's not a valid user here.
Is it possible to block this address and to delete all this crap automatically ?
Thanks
