I have recently been receving so many “daemon mailer” messages about rejected emails that I have not sent to recipients that I do not know that I had to temporarily suspend one of my email accounts. Furthermore, I receive emails from myself (!) that I have not sent about various spammer topics.

I have sent numerous requests to my domain host for advice on how to stop this, if possible, but they have not been bothered to provide even a minimal response (nice tech support service, uh?). Is there anyone that can advise me about this topic?
So my questions are:
1 – Can I prevent spammers from abusing my email addresses and if so, how do I do this?
2- If not, do I have any preventative actions I can take, other than closing my email accounts and creating new ones?
3 – If I have to create new email accounts, how can I stop them from hi-jacking my new email addresses?
3 – Is there any preventative action my webhost provider can take to help me that they have not bothered to tell me?

Thanks.
David
