Reading the wiki article a little further pointed out the same thing

Further, it links to an article on "backscatter"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter_(e-mail)

And suggests two methods of dealing with it:

   1) reject the message at the time of connection
   2) don't reply to it (or rather, only send bounces to /plausible/ senders)
