    A client of mine has been having serious difficulties with SPAMMERS using their domain name as a return address for sending spam. The Names are ficticious, of course, and only a inconvenience due to the NDRs being returned through the mail system.

    The most serious problem is that the subject of the SPAM could cause a major public relations problem for the company, since it is mostly online-drug sales and private enhancements being marketed.

    A thorough check of the mail system and tracing of the original spam messages confirm that the company's systems are not being used as relays. Most the the messages originate in the Far/Middle east or Europe.

    Any suggestions as to what can be done, or how to handle such a situation would definitely be appreciated.
