Anti-spam measure


Everyone gets lots of spam. Many of us have (overwhelmed) filters to try and block some of it. People with their own domain names are increasingly reporting that their email addresses are being used to send spam without their permission. What do you do if your(or your client's) email address is being used this way?

The problem is there is not much difference between adding a false (or unauthorised) sender's email address to an email and adding a false address to letterhead. The resulting email can, of course, be sent to a far wider audience far quicker and far more cheaply.

Here's an interesting attempt (which I have not yet tried) to at a strategy to combat such misuse - the Sender Policy Framework.
