I'm experiencing spammers that are using my domains as the sender of their spam. I'm quite upset over this, but there does not seem to be a way to stop these spammers from doing so. It's causing a problem on my server too as the bounced message queue builds up over time and I'm forced to log into my server and manually remove the bounced message queue. Otherwise the build-up of the queue can use up server resources if left unchecked. These spammers really stink. SPF looks interesting, but I'm not clear how to implement it. Besides that, it doesn't seem to stop the bounced message queue from building up. It also seems that anyone sending their legit mail tied to domains on my server might get their email blocked by the recipient server should it not be sent by my server. In other words, if the sending server doesn't match the SPF records for the domain in the sender's email address, the email gets blocked even when it's legit. That could cause problems for hosted domains and associated email addresses on my server. Yep, email spoofing is quite a problem.
