IT help needed

I've an ongoing problem with the email accounts I have linked to my website URL. I keep getting hundreds of returned undeliverable messages purporting to be from *****@my URL These accounts have not been set up by me but the failed returns route back via my redirect into my outlokk inbox.

My ISP isn't very helpful saying that anyone can set up and use that sort of account and use it to send out masses of spam. My concern is that for every failed message returned to me quite a few will be getting through making it look as though I've set up what is in fact my genuine engineering site to distribute junk emails.

Is there any way I can stop this from happening ?. I could set up an outlook rules wizard to dump the returned messages on arrival but that doesn't stop them being still sent out by whoever is doing this.

As it stands I'm your man if you want: a phoney diploma, a never ending supplies of viagra, cheap software or to grow yourself an enormous dick by all accounts ;-)))

You can't really do anything once the spammers have got your email address... Just suffer mate. You'll suffer less by using a mail client like Thunderbird (www.mozilla.com) which features a very very good "intelligent" spam filter.

We're all going through this. Everything's working fine until one day you do the mistake to leave your email address on a message board or any other online place. That's it, time helping, your email address is soon going to be known by spamers worldwide.

So, were you saying you have sex problems my friend?


Edited to correct the mistakes I spotted...

Would they be the tits you got from the emails offering breast enlargement?

No sex problem old bean, just that if you believe the junk mail I'm apparently sending out I can offer as one of my vast range of products and services to "enhance your todger" (Wonder what you'll make of that one mon ami)

Or perhaps you were referring to Harvs current mood ???

Be careful not to appear anti gay here or you'll be branded a cynic and right winger
