Email getting spoofed. Repeatedly.

[echostatic]

So for the fourth time this year, I've gotten a sudden flood of "Undeliverable Mail" bounces.. someone's been a-spoofin' again. From what I understand, it's really nothing I can stop on my end. I keep pretty tight tabs on my email accounts - is this caused by someone with crappy security getting an email from me and having some spam worm propogate through it because it's in their address book?

I certainly don't want my actual email (or worse, Dathorn's IPs) being added to blacklists...

That could be it though it really could be anything or anywhere that your e-mail address has ever been. It could even be choosing domains semi-randomly. There is never any way of knowing what it may have been the cause.

It is for this very reason that all black listings are done based on the sending IP address, which will be the IP address of the spammer. This would not cause any problems with our servers being black listed.

Excellent, good to know. Thanks!
