    Exclamation Spoffing my domain for SPAM (not me, others)

    Recently I've been getting a lot of bounced mail, from blocked spam, it looks like this :
    spam.jpg These penny stock SPAMS.

    Where the spammers are using a random/fake address from my domain as the sender.

    I'm just wondering is it possible that I will be put on an email black list when I send real emails, because of these people who are trying to fake email from me ?

    I have same problem with redcardinal.ie.

    Nowt you can do. But you wont get blacklisted as they only seem to spoof the return-path.

    Shower of ******s those spammers.... (am I allowed to say that )

    As red cardinal says, there is nothing you can do and no one has hacked your server.

    The best thing to do is send all mail thats improperly addressed to the :black hole: - After a week you can set your catch all back up as these spammers always move on.

    Some of the responses you get back from people who think you spammed them are priceless though

    And if you want a laugh - one of the spam emails was obviously sent to another spammer who has now started spamming the spoofed email address.

    Almost funny except that I'm pissed with the volume of crap coming in

    I forward my catchall email address to a google a/c so the mailbox size isn't that much of a pain and it can group similar ones too.

    Looks like the same kind of Spam I get. I get a huge amount of Spam but luckily maybe 1 a week at most gets through which is grand, Google does a good job at catching spam.

    I just wish they had settings like "English Emails Only" as some SPAM seems to still get through.

    Glad to see you guys are getting the same. Not that I hate you or anything, just happy that I am not alone.

    Is it just me or has anyone else seen a huge increase in these emails since Christmas? I am currently hitting 200 per day and they all kicked off just before Christmas week.

    Although Christmas day was nice as it seemed even the spammers stopped spamming for a day so they could do things with their family

    I get this also. As your site becomes popular, your domain name will be used to send spam. There is no way around this.
    You can have a filter on your email account to drop all these bounced emails from unknown email addresses from your domain.
