Many of my business contacts and friends are saying that they are not receiving my emails from our azam.net addresses. This is severely damaging my business and causing me a lot of stress.
I have spoken to somebody and he said I should ask my webhost for private nameservers. Do you think that would help please?
He also recommended I get a private IP block from my webhost? Once again, do you think that would help?
Also he said the domain name hasn't be blacklisted but has some warning against it? Is there any way to check this and stop it being gray-listed?
Any advice on how to resolve this would be most welcome. Thank you in advance.

Is this spam being sent out? If so, you need to find out if it's coming from your website or not. Email addresses can be easily spoofed, and it's possible that this is the case. Unfortunately, very little can be done about that. AFAIK, setting private name servers or IP blocks will not solve the problem.
Hey! It compiles! Ship it!

The same thing is happening every day with this site. Basically when sending an e-mail it's possible to change the from address to anything, spammers take advantage of this.
It's impossible to stop (apart from perhaps tracking down where the mail was sent from and reporting it to their ISP). None of your equipment is being used to perform these attacks, so there isn't much you can change to stop this from happening.

does your company have your corporate emails listed on the website?
if you do.. try encoding them from SPAM bots... also what i have done before.. if you dont do business to those countrys. try blocking the ip blocks for the major Russian ISP.

But I think the problem Azam's having is that people are using the name of their domain to send e-mails. They don't need access to their e-mail addresses to do that, they just make them up.
