Dragadon's topic about spammers prompted me to post this, and see if anyone has any advice for me.
As you all know, my domain is
www.oddworld.au.com. With my domain I have a feature where any email that is sent to the domain is sent to me. Therefore, I recently found out about a nasty trick that a spammer was using when one of their emails bounced back.
A spammer was actually using my domain as their "from" address when they sent their emails out (something like
refinance9332@oddworld.au.com). The email they sent asked people to visit a website, therefore no reply address was needed, so they decided to use mine!
Now, is there a way that I can protect my domain name. I don't want to have spam mail sent out from it, not only does it give my site a bad name, it also could get my domain name blacklisted from some ISPs if people were to report it.
One would think that once you own a domain, it is your property. But I don't know where to start looking, so I was hoping someone might have a suggestion.
