Alan is right, there is NO way to prevent this.  I would however double 
check to make sure your mail server isn't compromised (which it probably 
isn't, but a good double-check never hurts.

Also, there's a well known issue with Google owned domains (like 
googlegroups) that are very susceptible to backscatter spam attacks to 
find legit email addresses in those domains.

Unfortunately, the d*ckhead spammers won't leave us alone.  If everyone 
on the planet would stop clicking on them, maybe a good portion of them 
would go away.
