Hackingmails.com - any idea what this is?

[BGSWebDesign]

Hi,

I'm still receiving replies from someone (maybe many) that I believe are SPOOFING my email address.  Can someone help shed light on this.

Here's another one I got the other day.  Notice it is sent with PHP Mailer and looks to be received from 'hackingmails.com'.

Does anyone have any idea what this is - is there any way to prevent spoofing like this?  What about the 'caller ID' for email that's supposed to be available soon - would that stop it?

Thanks,
-Brett

Brett,

Installing an SPF record in the DNS for your domain could prevent some or even a lot of servers from accepting and processing the forged email.

Consider my own SPF entry which ensures all email said to be from listmailpro.com comes from my mail server IP.

Code: [Select]

listmailpro.com TXT "v=spf1 mx ip4:216.127.70.45 ~all"
This is a very easy and effective change - your host should have no problem setting it up for you if you can't make the DNS changes yourself via your control panel.

I can't think of a better way to prevent the problem you are having but am open to continue investigating.

Regards
