Damn Spammers

Well, I suppose I should be flattered, but I’m just NOT. The Knit Foundry is now popular enough that some lower-than-life spammers are faking using the domain (but not from my mail server, that should be protected by my ISP) to send out their stupid "buy this drug" and crap emails. *sigh*
So I get a truck load of "Mail not Delivered" emails back to these "phony" addresses on my system. To try and combat the annoyance, I’ve turned off the catch all email (which usually forwards anything to my email just in case someone had a typo in the address) and tried to make sure all the ‘valid’ email addresses will still work. I’ll put a notice up on the kf site later today (no access to the html from here).
I’m not sure what else I can do; and might try to contact my ISP to see if there is anything they know of (not holding my breath there). If anyone else has any brilliant ideas; please do share.
