is this a yahoo/gmail or similar , or are you using your own domain. You won't get blacklisted if someone is spoofing your yahoo/gmail because their already are mechanisms to validate spoof'd vs legitimate messages. If you are using your own domain look into setting up SPF , DKIM and DMARC records .

It's my gmail account. According to a doc I just find on Gmail's site, they recommend reporting the bounced messages themselves as Spam, so I've done that.
Because GMail uses SPF, DKIM, and DMARC effectively, I'd say you shouldn't worry about it in general. And I can't really think of anything you could do short of using another email address or provider.

The major email service providers (GMail, Yahoo, Hotmail, iCloud, AOL, Comcast) should already be sticking these spoofed emails in their recipients' spam folders.

If you rely on communication with a less- or un-managed email server, then you might have issues, since they might not be filtering based off of SPF, DKIM signatures, or DMARC policy.

Is the mailer-daemon message from @googlemail.com or from recipient domains?
