Alright here is the problem. My friend owns a domain name that has e-mail forwarding. Basically, anything sent to [email protected] will go to [email protected]. So, here is the problem: It seems that people have "hijacked" his domain name and are sending a HUGE amount of spam using his domain name! They create a name, doesn't matter what it is [email protected] and is sent to dozens of people a day. And because of invalid e-mails or other reasons, they are either getting bounced back are are sending e-mails saying: you are sending spam! But, the thing is, these e-mail aren't comming to the spammer, but to my friend! He is getting 20-30 e-mails a day, and since this just started a week ago, this number is sure to grow to 100s of e-mails a day.
My friend uses this e-mail address forwarding for everything, and does not want to disable it. But, because of these circumstances, it doesn't seem that he has much of a choice.
These stupid spammers! Don't they know it's illegal???
If anyone can help me out and tell me what to do in this situation, I'll be forever grateful.
Thanks a LOT,
Ephi
