Hi all, So one of my domains is being forged by some spammer. In this thread there was a question about sending NDRs in to SpamCop - is that acceptable / practical? I am tempted to break it intentionaly for a few days. I could use suggestions other than sending out spam myself(!) Perhaps there could be a blacklist for domain owners that want to blacklist themselves for a few days to discourage domain spoofing...
