Here's a tip... make sure your server is configured to NOT send a bounce reply back when it receives mail for an invalid address. Spammers will send out messages where the From: address is the intended recipient then send the message to a randomly-generated address at your domain. Your server would then bounce the spam back to the From: address. This one bit me not long ago as I'd had that setting still active on an old domain. My hosting provider limits my server to 1,000 outgoing emails a day and I was starting to get warnings from their system.
