This seems like a perfect object lesson on why you should use DKIM and SPF and make sure the sending domain can set up a p=reject policy for DMARC.

Hi Nanog,

It looks like someone with an axe to grind against our company has decided to email every AS contact they could find on 
PeeringDB, impersonating us and sometimes spoofing our domains.

We're aware of the emails and are sorry for the inconvenience. We've since added SPF records to the domains we own but don't 
use (the perps have since name-squatted some new ones). We're also actively working with law enforcement on the matter.

Thanks
