GOF Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 My website is www.gentlemenoffortune.com Somebody is sending out spam using my @gentlemenoffortune.com address. Is there ANYTHING I can do to prevent this? Help Greg Quote
Just_Rob Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 Nope, As long as they have not gained access to your site, there is nothing you can do to stop them. I can put anything I want in my return address and it will look like it comes from there. The headers give the real story though so as long as the headers do not match your site then you are safe even though it "looks" like it is coming from you. Quote
GOF Posted October 14, 2006 Author Posted October 14, 2006 Hmmmm.... I don't know... Here is an example of a "returned" email.... Does the header tell the story in my favor? Hi. This is the qmail-send program at sincity.telecable.es. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up.
