I'm getting returned mail from bogus email addresses @ my domain name who are sending spam from there. Consequently, ALL email from this domain is now blacklisted. My domain runs a legitimate business - How do I get my credibility back?

I'm getting returned mail from bogus email addresses @ my domain name who are sending spam from there. Consequently, ALL email from this domain is now blacklisted. My domain is hosted by Yahoo, and my email is myname @ mydomain.com. The spam appears as "jerk @ mydomain.com" etcetera... I run a legitimate business from there - How do I get my credibility back? Does anyone know how to "lock" a domain?

you need to backtrack and figure out where the mail is being generated from. sure, it's probably coming in through an unsecured relay somewhere, but if you can get to the right isp downstream then they would be more than happy to turn the connection off.

Sounds like you got hacked big time. A very hard lesson, and I wish I had a good answer for you, but I do wish you well.

Not to sure if you are using yahoo mail, or are hosting with yahoo?
