This is bit off topic but... I run a golf website www.theinternetgolfclub.com whose main email address is info (AT) theinternetgolfclub (DOT) com There is a replica watches company that is sending out emails 'Golfers Gifts' with a link back to their website. The emails are sent out 'from' my info email address. I have contacted the company to ask them to stop but they're still doing it. Any way legally without costing a packet? Regards Vance |
If I undertand it right, they send mails use your mail address as the
return one, so you get the mail delivery error messages . . . or do
they hack somehow your mail account/contact form and send it to make it
look like you're doing this.

They send emails that show the from address as mine.
It may be a hack although I don't think so.
With an asp or php script you can set the mail 'sent from' details to be
anything e.g. mail at msn.com etc etc
It's happening to thousands or email accounts and I think the only way
forward is to make ISPs responsible for spam mail.
If ISPs where made financially liable for any spam mail sent then the
industry would be doing itself a big favour - IMHO!!
If anyone want a peek at the email header info then email me at vgr at
vhsholdings dot com

Sometimes it helps. Trick is, you will have to be able to prove they are
faking 'from' field.

Well, they're scaning the interent for e-mail addresses and use them for the sent from details, so the email address on the interent need to be encrypted |
especially when you have catch-all type mailbox.

Not only, spammers are using fake addresses from known domains. It hurts especially when you have catch-all type mailbox. Borek |
