Domain Hijacking
I've been receiving a lot of 'return to sender' emails amongst the usual spam to my works email addresses, so I'm assuming that some **** spammer is using the company domain name to mount spam attacks (its unlikely its a virus as we're well protected). Is there anything that can be done to stop this or is it too late ?

I've been getting loads RTS mails using my personal domain too. not sure how to deal with this so have just been deleting the mails without opening.
I'm wondering if they are real RTS emails or spam made to look like it.

I get quite a few emails to 'sales@mydomain ..' or 'info@mydomain ..' Just set a rule iN outlook to put them in a Spam folder. When I open it, even if there are a few dozen mails there, I can see at a glance if there is anything genuine that I should read. Then it's just a question of hitting the delete key a few times ..

Yeah I've already set up rules to filter out mail that is not sent to specific addresses on the domain ; the spam isn't really a major problem it's the returned mails thats worrying me as it is evident from looking at the headers that someone is faking our domain with dummy addresses eg. kkkfgh@mydomain.com. What I don't want to happen is *@mydomain.com being blacklisted by companies who could be potential clients !

Me also, but what's weird is that I am in Spain and my primary domain is a .com yet I'm getting a fair few bounces from Spanish email addresses - in other words it's as if the emails are being sent to geographically relevent targets and more worryingly that they seem to know where I am located (presumably some sort of IP address spam device?)
