Spam

If you're one of the (no doubt hundreds of thousands) of people who, in the last couple of days, have received spam from this domain PLEASE NOTE the following...

I AM NOT SENDING THESE SPAM EMAILS

Someone has hijacked my domain and is using it to send spam. I know, because I'm getting all the bounce emails in my postmaster account (nearly 200 at last count).

I HATE spam as much as you do. Probably more. I am absolutely rabid in my determination to not receive any at home. I hate seeing it, I hate having to deal with it. I consider it the strangler fig of the internet.

I wish there was something I could do to trace whoever is doing this, but I fear there isn't... :(

Anyone got any suggestions?

The only thing I can think of is change my main email address with my ISP. Be much more religous in protecting it and use an online one for the more mundane signup things. I was quite happy deleting the spam but a couple of days back I got bumped from a mailing list for all the spam I've been sending. I guess mine got hijacked too.
