Subject: [hampshire] Spoofed from address for emails
I'm getting a stream of emails back from all over the world saying
that spam from our domain (lymingtonchurch.org) could not be
delivered to their server. Two questions:

1) Is there any way of stopping people using my domain in a 'from'
address? (I'm guessing not)

2) Does this mean our domain will get listed as a spammer?

TIA, Peter

Example (I've tried to obfuscate things in a way which will leave the
original fairly clear):

This is an automated message from the BorderWare MXtreme Mail Firewall
at host webmail.<obfuscate>.ch.

A mail from you (ffiu <at sign> lymingtonchurch . org) to
(pascal.rosse@<obfuscate>.ch)
was stopped and Quarantined because it contains one or
more
forbidden attachments.

Summary of email contents:


Attachment: greeting card.exe
greeting card.exe    forbidden attachment (detected as '.exe')
(filename)
