Default Bounced emails
Do many of you guys get lots of bounced emails which you've never even sent and is there a way to stop this?

I spoke to hosting support a while back and they me that it was in convenient but not personal IE the spammer is probably spoofing hundreds/thousands of email addresses and not just mine.

Still, it's really annoying and there has been a definite rise in this activity on several clients emails over the last month.

Any ideas?

There are steps you can take:

- remove any "catchall" aliases
- publish SPF records

They're not the perfect solution, but they can definitely help ....
