Hackers Unite: How Can Spam Spoofing Be Defeated?
So I go to check my mail and I get dozens of "Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender" messages from a server in France.
No, I'm not Julia, and I don't have a private message to send to every permutation of "Thierry[0-9]*" at the French site.
And yes, I know how easy it is for a spammer to set an email's "From" header so that it looks like it came from the info address at my domain.
Other than just ignore it, what can I do to prevent this from happening?
(Yes, it's not a huge problem in the grand scheme of things, but still annoying)
Any ideas?
- rms 19y agoI've been getting this for years from my domain... I don't think there's much you can do short of fixing the SMTP protocol
