Someone is using my domain name to send SPAM
« on: August 20, 2008, 10:44:44 PM »
I have a catch-all for my email, and I get thousands of messages everyday of 'undelivered mail'.  My domain name is being used as the reply-to and i am getting all of the rejection replies. 
1.  Is there anyway to prevent my domain  from being used that way?
2. Is there a way i can filter all the rejection replies?
Thanks.

1. You can search online, but there is very little that can be done to prevent domain spoofing.
2. Yes, you can setup a filter in cpanel, or even easier in outlook to automatically delete all those emails.

One thing you can do is try not to have your E-mail address link shown on web pages or posts or profiles that you create on the net. The Spam bots will find them and abuse them.
