bogus e-mails being sent from my account coming back as undeliverable
three days ago I started receiving "return undeliverable" e-mail from accounts I have never heard of, and never have communicated with in the past. receiving 20 or 30 returns a day.
Can I set a password that prevents anyone from sending anything from my e-mail address.
As I was typing this another "return, undeliverable" This is the message.

These are probably not sent from your account. The spammer has just borrowed your email address and is using it as the return address of the junk they are sending. If they were coming from your account they would be in the Sent folder.
They have your address. There is not much you can do about it now. They will get bored with you and move on soon.
Google email backscatter to learn more about what is going on.
FYI: People posting email addresses in an open forum like you did in your example is exactly how spammers get their victims. That is not a very good idea if you want to protect your personal info.
I suggest that you edit your post and remove your example. It is of no help and does more harm than good.
