Someone is spoofing my e-mail addy. What can i do?

[rootaxs]

I've been getting a good number of bounced notices for messages i never sent. Upon closer investigation of the e-mail headers it seems like someone out there is spoofing my e-mail address and sending unsolicited spam.

The IP address in question is: IPOfCard1.guest-tek.com ([216.133.189.130])

I've already contacted the DNS admin, Domain owner and some tech support person with that company in the hopes of finding a resolution to the issue.

In case that doesn't work, what other solutions can i try to solve this dilemma?

Your help is gladly appreciated.

Thank you.

you could try contacting them and quoting the IP

Actually, the somebody at that IP addy has (most likely) klez. That's how klez works. And it's probably somebody you know - klez harvested your addy out of their address-book and spoofed it into the email.

You need to contact the domain-owner/tech-supp - forward them the email so they have the header intact. From the IP address, they can likely figure out who it is. And they probably won't (or at least they shouldn't) tell you who it is... Been there-done that

Thanks for the responses I sent the headers/e-mail to them for reference (including to the address given by moonshinemadness above).

The one's i sent to the dns admin for guest-tek bounced saying his inbox was full.

I guess, at this point, i can only hope and wait for the best.

edit: It could very well be Klez, the bounced e-mails have some virus detection & rejection message on it. But if anyone over at guest-tek knows me they probably have my e-mail address from some spam list. I don't know anyone working or even remotely affiliated with that company.
