Re: e-mail tracing

[phrag <phrag () slackcon org>]

I also used to get miscreants using my mail server to relay mail, although i 
have turned on smtp authentication which has stopped that, but they still 
spoof the address to that of mine, which also causes me to get replies from 
sometimes., I have also got a couple of password reset requests from stupid 
spoofed address's that don't resolve, but which seem to be bounced back to my 
main domain email. Does this still mean they are using it to relay?
Thanks,
