Some spammer out there is doing a joe job on my domain, and I’ve been getting a steady trickle of email bounces from servers at AOL and Yahoo. If somebody out there who has more time than I do wants to examine the bounces to try to figure out where complaints should be directed, I’ll keep a live archive online for your analysis. Currently, there are about 50 bounces in there.
I did scan over a few ot them, but I couldn’t determine any kind of pattern that would help me pinpoint the real origin. I’m guessing that the spammer is taking advantage of multiple open proxies. There were a couple of consecutive ones that seemed to originate from a broadband connection in Tennessee, but the rest of the ones I examined seemed to be all over the map: California, Netherlands, France, Russia, etc. I’m guessing that these are actually being generated by at least two different spammers.

I’m having the same problem. I’ve complained to the originating ISPs and also to the Police, but I’ve had no reply from the latter. Maybe that’s because they’re still investigating, or then again maybe they’re just ignoring the problem.
Jersey Telcom told me their client had a virus on their computer and didn’t know what Spam was, so I guess we’re victims of a rather sophisticated attack.
We’re not the only ones. There’s also a company called Lighsaber Computing getting the same treatment, so that’s three of us.
I found your site (nice site) by searching Google for the subject header in one of the messages AoL bounced to me!
