Groffenfleeger. Some spammer is using my domain name to send out a shitload of messages. I got a hundred or more delivery-failure notices in my inbox this morning. lhofcylcqoftal@chrisheller.net, jwhqps@chrisheller.net, zdpslpckigbypx@chrisheller.net, etc. And the "from" IP addresses are all over the map--I tracked some to Atlanta, Miami, and freaking Beijing. Anyone had this happen? Anything to be done about it?

edit: make that over 1,000

another edit: egad, that was before I checked my spam folder. It's at least 2,500 by now, and that's in the past 15 hours or so.


another edit once more: Over 900 of these are advertising a firm called Yap International. Exactly one of you will get a chuckle out of this.

I used to get that shit all the time because of my dsazine.com address. The first time it happened, I thought, "Who are all these people?" Then I checked the sender's info. Unfortunately, I don't think there's a whole lot that can be done. Maybe complain to the sender's ISP?

That's what I figured. :( And the senders seem to be from all sorts of ISPs, so I dunno what to do about that. It's driving me batshit!
