How Can I Prevent Spammers From Using My Domain For Spamming
I have had an escalating issue with spammers generating email addresses using my web site's root domain randomly. They come in with addresses like this "[email protected]" where IMM Financial is my domain.
I can not block my own domain from sending me emails obviously, but this is getting really annoying.
I do not have and FTP's active at this time and I rotate my passwords regularly with long non-word passwords and I do not know how to stop this from happening.
Can anyone tell me how I can prevent people from doing this? I do not want them blasting others using my domain either...so I would really like to figure this out.
Thanks in advance for you help.

Hi Wade,
My friend got the same issue using he's domain name for spamming. And he mention about this Sender Policy Framework it records and allow domain owners to specify which hosts are permitted to send email on behalf of their domains.
You can check the link below for further info.

good to know it sounds so simple. i have been facing a different problem recently as spammers were using my free yahoo address for their business and yahoo decided to bar me access for a couple of days, so it is good to know what to do should they also start abusing my domain name.

Thanks 'webdesigner'. I haven't come across this problem on my domain as of yet but that can serve as an excellent preventive measure for me. Spammers and Hackers are the most annoying persons to use the net.
