    Someone is Spamming AOL with my Domain

    Hi,

    I'm curious if any of you have any contacts at AOL (actual people, not automated bots) in which I can talk to in regards to what appears to be someone spamming AOL users with my domain name as the reply-to email address. I came to work this morning to find over 200 bounced emails and countless remove requests from a spammer using my domain. Any advice would be very gratefully appreciated to avoid getting my domain canned from my ISP.

    Note: The spammer is just using my domain name as the reply-to email address, neither my webserver nor email servers were used in relaying the spams.

    Thanks

              he might have picked that name by random... you arent going to be able to get in touch with an aol spammer... i speak from experience... all you can do is report him to the sponcer if anyone copied the message and sent it back to you

                  you are so busted
                  if he is using a domain that you have a site on, you can say good buy to the aol users, they will add your site to their black list. They don't give a shit if you did it or someone else using your name.
                  If you already have 200 bounced back emails, then you have at least 20 spam complaints.
                  I hope for your sake that you are not running a site on this domain.

                                  It happens all the time. Beyond the fact that AOL will probably ban your domain, get ready for death threats and calls to your local police department from crazy anti-spam fanatics.

                                  It's a very common problem.
