Spammers using my domain name
#1

So I wake up to thousands of bouncebacks. That clogs my mailbox, which isn't a huge problem as I could write an application to clean out my mailserver every minute or so.
What frightens me is that my domain name might be flagged as a spammer. I do not think that the spam is actually coming from my server, as I am sure my ISP would be contacting me.
My question is; Is there anything I can do about this? The server they are promoting; www.fadunt.com and 218.106.165.184 appears to be in China. Is there anyone I can complain to there? ISP wise? Maybe to get their server shut down? Or does no one there care? Or would I be wasting my time even if I did? Do these people ever stop using my domain name?
Anyway, this is very frustrating.
Any suggestions that point me in the right direction would be very helpful.
Thanks ahead,
Sergio

Sorry to hear. Certainly a cause for concern. Easy enough to make it on to SPAM lists and very difficult to be removed once listed.

As well, my one machine is off at nights, and this morning I woke up to 900 bouncebacks. Besides, if it was a worm on my machine my ISP (a small one, not a large conglomerate) would have called me already.
Thanks again.

That certainly proves they aren't originating from your PC.my one machine is off at nights, and this morning I woke up to 900 bouncebacks.
