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...
