Re. spam in my name...

[domainica]

It appears that someone is sending out mass amounts of email using 2 of my domain names as the return address.

Of course, I have nothing to do with this.

The spam emails point to at least 3 sites:
www.notyesterdaysnews.com
www.filesharetoday.com
www.annualnewsletters.com

These sites offer apparently illegal downloads of movies and music.

The owner of these 3 sites cannot be identified as he/she has apparently falsified their Whois data.

The domain names are registered with Bulkregister.com. They have informed me they cannot do anything to stop the spam, as they are not the hosting company. However, I have informed Bulkregister.com that the Whois information is wrong. So far, they have not responded.

The hosting company, EASY-DNS-HOSTING.COM, has also apparently falsified their Whois data. The registrar of EASY-DNS-HOSTING.COM is Network Solutions. I have also informed them of the misleading Whois information, but have yet to hear back from them. I've also informed ICAAN.

In the meantime the spam keeps flowing, I'm getting about 3,000 "returned" emails per day, and there seems to be no end in sight. Also, my legitimate emails that I send out (using my domain name) are being blocked and returned to me.

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

report that they provided false whois info and have their domains canceled

the mail must be coming from a server which would probably be in the headers of the returned message look up the ip, do a whois, report.

if your not sure post up the message you are getting and contents of any attacments and ill have a butchers

I had this done to me several times over the last few years. In all cases, I had to turn off email for about 30-60 days by either removing the MX record or taking the whole domain off DNS. On one I got over 17,000 bounce messages in a day. Not much you can do about being blacklisted except contact the public blacklist owners or request of individuals to be taken off with the explanation. If it's an active domain, it really is tough. It's usually fruitless to try tracking them down, since they're ususually in Russia, Korea, Taiwan, or some other haven.

Maybe setup SPF records to your 2 domain names?
