From what I understand after several emails with my host provider, you don't need to worry. What happens is that the spam filters look at the originating IP and block the spam coming from that IP, not just that domain. They do this because this is so prolific online that it's the only choice! Just think how many times over PayPal would be banned from everything by now (I get thousands of emails pretending to be from PayPal). Or the banks where spammers try <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing" rel="nofollow">phishing</a> your identity. Hi Jag,

I'm afraid about my domains being tagged as a source of spam! Hi Sean,

Have you found any way to resolve the problem?

I’m afraid about my domains being tagged as a source of spam!

It's happen with my company LandlordMax.com in the past, but never with this blog. Oh well, I guess it was only a matter of time... To be honest, now that I think of it, considering the traffic coming here each month, it's surprising it hasn't happened sooner (I get in the 5 digits of unique visitors a month). Hi Sean,

This has been happenning to me for the last couple of weeks. The spammers use a fake email address at my domain for the from/reply-to address, and I get all of the boucebacks from their apam. It is really annoying, and I don't think that there is any way to stop it. Most of them seem to be for stocks that the spammers are pushing. You’re not alone.
