Re: [Spam] when someone fakes your email address to spam

It doesn't negate the fact that the OP is receiving unwanted and unsolicited email messages (aka spam).

You can A) sit around and do nothing B) try to do something and maybe one day administrators will be persuaded to correctly configure their email servers.

Actually they are getting bounced spam which is different. Very likely the same message hundreds of times with the "from" being the only difference. Easy to filter/delete by subject.
