spamming bastards

some asshole has decided to send spam with my domain spoofed in the address, so people are now getting spam "from my domain" additionally, tons of spam is getting bounced and sent back to the fake addresses at my domain and thus, I am recieving all of these bounced spams in my inbox.

spammers are dicks

Happens at my work address all the time. I actually got an email from a friend asking "who I was" because he couldn't believe I was spamming for a porn site.

Everyday I get at least 4 "undeliverables" in my inbox.

Yup, explosives. May only stop one spammer but it'd sure be fun.

Hehe. This is what Domain Keys is supposed to help with.

Yeah.. fucking spammers.

I had to block all emails to my domains because the spammers were spoofing my addresses too. I never get any spam now.

Once I blocked the Asia Pacific Network subnets I get virtually no spam at all. It seems that is the center of the world when it comes to hosting spam mail servers and spammers websites.

This wouldn't fix my problem since I'm not getting mail from spammers I'm getting mail from people who got spam that had a spoofed address with my domain on it.

My spam consisted of fake usernames @ ubstudios.com. I just put accept mail from my addresses only, sure helped alot. I use the same filter in my Yahoo account and rarely get spam, (I'd say one a week.)

yeah I don't want to do that because I like to put the names of places I register at in to the e-mail address I use to register at various places, that way I know where crap is coming from, like if I registered at the forums here I'd put winamp@freesand as my e-mail. then I if started getting spam sent to that address I'd know who to blame for it. Also I can then just block mail sent to winamp@freesand to avoid it.
