Need Help with Spammer by mortaine 2002-02-14 14:12:40
Some nasty, awful Spammer is forging headers using my domain name. Although so far no one has emailed me to complain about getting all that spam, the bounces are going to MY inbox.

I need some *helpful* suggestions for getting these people to stop. I've got some (probably bogus) contact info from Whois.

Any suggestions? I live in CA, where we actually have anti-spam laws. A technological solution might be best, since it would cut them off without costing any court fees (one of the contacts is in China).

Thanks for any practical advice you can give. I have already thought of lots of nasty things to do if I ever got my *hands* on them!
