Somebody or Something is using my domain name for SPAM….
I feel so violated. As if I would do something like that. I’m researching how to make it stop, but until then, if you don’t know me, I’m not spamming you–some weird internet pornbot is.
The very same thing happened to me. Your posting inspired me to jot a note about it on my blog (http://whathesaid.ca/2007/10/23/am-i-not-master-of-my-e-mail-domain/). It doesn’t seem to ever go away, but hopefully the effect will lessen over time. You may want to check whether your ISP implements the Sender Policy Framework (http://www.openspf.org/) on their e-mail servers. In theory, the SPF should prevent those sorts of return-address forgeries.
