Hi all,

There was no clear cut choice as to which forum was most appropriate for this post, if the mods think it fits better on another please move it or let me know and I will repoost. I picked this one because this can have an effect on business.

I have discovered, through I series of "bounced back", filtered emails I have received
that a site/domain for which I am webmaster is being used by spammers.

I don't know all there is to know about reading email headers to determine origin but
even if I did, I couldn't analyze these mails that are being returned to me as the
"catch all" recipient for this domain as the expanded headers aren't being made
available to me.

My concern is that this domain will end up on so called black lists which will make
future legitimate communications difficult and give the domain a bad name in general.

The return addresses are for example;

Dshubba@mydomain.com
motorcycle@mydomain.com
modify@mydomain.com
punitive@mydomain.com
tryouts@mydomain.com

...with "from" names such as "Tilted T. Randomize", "Exorcize I. Harmfulness"
and "Parched H. Heehawed"


I'm in the dark about what to do about this, can anyone offer any assistance?

Ken

I can tell only one thing. If the domain gets into blacklists of Spamhaus you`ll have very big troubles. So it`s better to change yours if there is such an ability.
