Sucks.

What do your program terms and conditions say on the subject ?

Some programs have specific keywords that cannot be bid for or domains that cannot be used eg: brand name in the domain. What does your T&C say ? If there's no mention of it then I'd say unless you have a trademark or want to undertake a UDRP action there's not much to complain about, at least he's sending you traffic and not competing with you or using the domain in bad faith.
