has anyone ever had any experience with spammers using your domain name in the "reply to" or "from" fields...
i've been receiving loads of bounced emails now... being sent by various addresses with .au and .de in them????
i contacted my host and they replied:
Hi

with meomi, i don't use my catchall account at all.
i still get so much spam because i have my emails posted onm y website, but i can't figure out how to make it easy for clients to contact me but still keep things invisible from spammers : /

i've had a flash only site for over 5 years and have never run into this problem

i also believe if your email link is a graphic it slows them down as well...

when i had just my flash site it was totally fine - never got any spam ever. but now that my online store is all html - well, i got about 160 spam emails this morning alone. POOOOOOOH! If those fools actually think that im ever going to purchase a fake rolex, "hoodia", "cialis", or "viagra", "fake software, or invest in their real estate tips they're really naive. but i guess that spam MUST work? who's buying this shit? lonely people? fools!

wow - that sounds like no fun. and from places like australia and germany (i think)? hmmm - guess i should make my links graphics, eh?

[workroom]

yup
since my site has always been flash i've never ever had the problem...
but then i made an index page with my email (html) link on it and boom...
so
just took that down and hope that they go away...
i love being able to keep my catchall cos it allows me to make up any email address i need on the fly...
