So... Someone's Borrowing Your Email Address

[Don]

Some spammer has obviously started inserting my domain as a return path for his/her droppings as I'm seeing an influx of "undeliverable mail" messages in my fall-through account.

 

Has anyone figured out a way to combat this kind of nonsense?

If the emails aren't coming from one of your real email accounts then you are probably a victim of spammers spoofing emails from your domain. It's a common occurance and there's nothing you can do to stop it from happening.

 

You can stop receiving those annoying undeliverable notices by setting your default address to :fail:.

Agreed, but of course then you lose ALL misaddressed mail.

I have two company websites and I have mine set to fail.

 

If they can't spell my email address right I probably don't want their email anyway. Just my opinion so my default is set to :fail: and when they get the bounce they will figure it out.
