domain name spammed

**albsure** · 12-15-2003, 08:20 AM

AOL has contacted my company and has informed us that someone is using our domain name for spam. Is there anyway to tell how the spammers got access to our domain?

Thanks

Really. They're probably talking about email spam? If so are they indicating spam is originating from a machine in your office?

It is spam e-mail. And they did not or could not say if it is originating from the office.

I'm no expert on spam, but can't anyone fake the "From:" header in an email message? Did AOL recommend any course of action? Or was it just a friendly "heads up" that you may be inundated with thousands of angry "unsubscribe" messages very soon?
