Default hijacked email

Now everyday I get at least 20 email as

Clearly your address has been hijacked by a web bot.

Is there anything I can do to stop this as the emails are spam and
going everywhere under my name/.


You can't stop those who are using the address. You can mitigate the
incoming NDRs with rules, perhaps. You should change the web page so that
the mail address is not harvestable (i.e., make it an image, for example, so
that only a human can read it and do not include a mailto URL) so that
future bots can't see it. See this, for example, from a FrontPage MVP:
