SPOOFING

B

Billy Doherty

We are getting slammed with spoofed emails. Any way to stop it? I know this
is off the subject a bit. Thought someone else may be experiencing it.

Thanks,
Billy

I am getting emails from ME and also from names of people that are not
employed by our company.
Ex: [email protected].

Worst, my clients are getting emails that say they are from me but are not..

Your rules helped on a desktop level. Anything the hosting company server
can do to prevent these mails from going to my clients?

Your domain hosting company? Probably not. The messages could have come from
anywhere, and almost certainly never went through your domain host.

Messages like this usually have forged headers, so although they appear to
come through your domain they probably haven¹t done. There is not a lot you
can do about this except to try and get copies of these messages and track
the real source down through spamcop or some similar service. Getting
spammers shut down is a near to impossible task. Good luck.

THe only way out is to get everyone to use Certificates and digitally
sign e-mails (whoch Office 2004 and Mail support BTW).
