Receiving bounce backs from emails I didn't send

Hi,

How do you eliminate someone from using your email address to send spam? Receiving a bunch of bounce back undeliverable messages to email addresses I never sent to.

Thanks.

 

Unfortunately, you can't.

Well, you can, if you want to use an SPF record. But that is not a simple thing to implement, and if done incorrectly, can cause more problems than it solves.

 

You may also want to read the following KB article below

"I received a bounced message for an email that I did not send, or I received a complaint from someone saying I sent a virus, but I didn't send the email"

 

That KB article is correct.
People from the UK and Russia are sending Emails with headers that make it look like my main Email address sent them.
I posted a forum topic about this last year.
Look at the hidden header, it should have at least information about the sending route.
