AOL blockage

[denny]

Apparently the amount of spam being faked to look like it comes from one of my domains (concretecow.com) is high enough that AOL are going to block all email from that domain. As I don't tend to use my concretecow.com address any more, this isn't a huge problem, but I know that spam is also being faked from my ukfetish.info domain at present, and it would be very inconvenient if that domain were to be blocked from reaching AOL - many of the site's users are AOL customers, and a block would prevent the site emailing out passwords etc.

Does anyone have any suggestions on actions I can take to try and prevent this problem?

AOL are working with ISPs to only accept email from the registered MX server IP address for that domain.. (or a designated SMTP server).. You could try getting in touch with them and saying.. "any mail from this domain should come from this IP address".. See if that helps.

Nuke them from orbit? I hear it's the only way to be sure.

AOL, or the spammers? :)

Yes.

Why not have another domain that you send account info from (e.g. accountdetails.info) which is separate from the one they'll actually be using? That could be a 'cover all' for any other domains you have too

Erm yeah... this is precisely what SPF's for.

Get AOL to use it and we all win.
