That is very probable.

Generally, if you have your own mail domain, you can use DKIM and DMARC
in order to make it easier for other mail servers to recognize spoofed
e-mail that abuses your domain. But that probably won't help in this
case because mail servers that produce backscatter probably don't
support DMARC or DKIM. :-/
