Spam's a universal problem, of course, and it'll be a while before the legislators catch up, though things are gradually happening. This particular issue is forgery, of course; I don't have much hope, but I have an AUP which attaches a charge of $25,000 per use of our name. I don't see a bat's chance in hell of seeing that money at the moment, but who knows what happens in the future? See http://www.lemis.com/aup.html for more details. Another thing you can try is SPF, the sender policy framework. It's a DNS extension that says where mail from you can come from. See http://spf.pobox.com/ for more details. AOL is using it: aol.com text = "v=spf1 ip4:152.163.225.0/24 ip4:205.188.139.0/24 ip4:205.188.144.0/24 ip4:205.188.156.0/23 ip4:205.188.159.0/24 ip4:64.12.136.0/23 ip4:64.12.138.0/24 ptr:mx.aol.com ?all" I suspect that they would not block you if you have SPF DNS records. > I also have a woman getting mail from a sick person with the address > and return the same as her address. the police, FBI, are no help..
