Someone is using my domain as email spam sender, is there any way to complaint ?

as i said someone abused my domain's mail and he is sending mass emails with it and the content of the email is full of their website's advertises, is there any way available for complaint

Someone is using my domain as email spam sender, is there any way to complaint ?
The critical question is whether he's sending the email from elsewhere and just sticking your address on it, or whether he's actually relaying through your smtp server.





If it's the latter, you have problems. You need to figure out how he's getting in, and you need to lock him out. You can check if you have an open relay at http://www.abuse.net/relay.html . If that's not the problem, check any scripts you have which are capable of sending email (formmail, etc.) and replace them with secure versions not capable of being hijacked like the old formmail is. Your mail and access logs will help a lot with this -- check your access log in particular for calls to that script from outside your domain.





If it's the former, you have different problems. If on one hand it's a "joe job" -- someone deliberately faking you specifically as the bogus sender of a large amount of spam in order to get revenge, etc. -- you will have a better chance of tracking down the origin. Usually people know who they've ticked off. Find him, find his ISP, complain. If on the other hand it's garden-variety spam and you're just a target of opportunity, it's not worth the effort to try to track down the sender. Odds are they're offshore. However, you mentioned that the email is full of their website's "advertises" (advertising?) -- if so, that gives you at least a preliminary target to look into. It might not actually be that guy -- it might be a "joe job" on him, too -- so do some googling for any references to that website and spam before you act. Then, if it is a known spammer and not a forgery to get the site owner in grief, visit www.abuse.net and look up the abuse address for the site's host. Complain to them. If they do nothing, complain to their upstream provider. (a traceroute can help find them)





If it's just a few emails a day, it's probably just a matter of a spammer using one address from his list as "from" in spam being sent to another, so he's got a second shot at getting through if the "to" address rejects it -- the fake "from" address might read it when it bounces. In that case, it's probably not a problem for you (other than an annoyance) because on any complaint, your ISP or web host will look at the headers of the email sent in by the person complaining, realize it never went anywhere near you, and drop the matter accordingly. Abuse departments are not as clueless as they used to be.
Reply:spammer's always do this.


contact your webhost and let them know that they may get complaints about your domain due to a spammer forging your domain as the return or sending address.





they will help you.
