SPF can help you here. You set it up on your domain. It's of dubious "value" though, because it's sort of unknown how the blacklists operate and if they check these things; and whether or not having an SPF is harmful, (it can be, in certain situations). Look into it though. It's definitely something you can consider adding, if this really concerns you (which, imho, it shouldn't) and if you only send emails from the IP that your domain that your email is addressed from. > I presume that someone has grabbed my email address.
