Chosen solution

Someone hacked Tbird email acct.

What exactly makes you believe your account has been hacked?

Hundreds of mailer daemons

What's more likely is that a spammer used your email address to send spam messages to random recipients, and now you do get the undeliverable notifications. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter_%28email%29

how do I fix this?

Wait until it stops. In the mean time you may want to filter those messages.
