HELP!!!
Someone is forging my domain to spam AOL accounts. Anyone
know how I
can stop this. I have deleted 400 - 500 of these over the

Welcome to the Internet!! Short of making REAL sure it is not coming from your network (do not assume it is not coming from your network unless you check your network) there is not much you can do. I or anyone else can send mail as anyone. It is trivial to do.

Did you actually look at the URL AOL provided?? If you are on the same ip address all of the time this is likely a problem with your network.
AOL is pretty good about these kinds of things. Are you running a web server? If so I would look REAL hard at it. Check your maillogs, webserver logs, etc.
If your ip address does not change you might want to setup a feedback loop as suggested in the URL listed above. It works, believe me. I use it here. It makes it real easy to catch garbage going to AOL.
<over 200 lines of the same error message deleted>
Why did you find it necessary to include 200 lines of the same error??
Sorry,
Just wanted to send everything so someone may be able to help me.
<<< 554 Connecting IP: 151.213.88.187
Is this your ip-address?? If yes, you most likely have a problem. If no someone else does and you can simply delete the messages.
Yes, that's my IP. I checked a few yesterday and they had IP's from Korea, Viet Nam. Some may have mine but not all. Now I'm getting bounces from different domains mailscanner/sendmail is now off).
Thanks!!
Hope this helps,
