You could employ SPF on your domain, so any ISP that enforces SFP checking will then make sure that emails from your domain came form allowed IP address. So any mail sent by spammers and phishers will not get through.

Open outlook, goto tools -> email accounts Select one of your email accounts to edit. Change the from address to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or create a CFM page to send an email. Set the from address as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" There you go. The from address you send an email from can be anything you like, this has nothing to do with the mail server, which only validates the acocunt you are logging into to send the email. Snake -----Original Message----- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 01 July 2006 16:18 To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: How do "Phishermen" send an email from a legitimate domain? Good morning, all. I, like many others, get phishing emails frequently, and can catch the spoof simply by looking at the hyperlinks of addresses.such as [EMAIL PROTECTED], which going to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but my question is: How can a phishing email be sent from [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? How can the PayPal.com domain be used if their email servers are set up correctly? I ask because I get phishing email sent to me using my own domain frequently, but I assume I haven't got everything set up perfectly, nor do I know how. It's not too bad to live with at this point. I just wonder how that can do that with PayPal's domain, as well.
