Yeah, I never thought about that too much until it started happening to me.
For the last few months, someone has been using my domain as the faked source
for a variety of emails attempting to drive up the prices of a few stocks.
The bounced emails I get are annoying enough, but we all know there are a lot
of admins out there that will see fit to just block all email from my domain.
It's rather frustrating; I can only imagine the havoc it could cause for
innocent businesses getting stuck on random blacklists.

Steve had an interesting point, up until now I thought all this spamming only
makes the end user mad, getting all that junk, I never even thought about the
faked domains and their real owners.

Thank you again,
