So for example, they are sending emails out with a signature of Fred Bloggs but the return email address is a series of random letters at my domain, e.g. osxhg@mydomain.co.uk, kodj@mydomain.co.uk. As a consequence, I am getting several bounced emails returned to me as undeliverable because for example they have been sent an unknown recipient at a domain, and the domain's server has bounced the email back to me suggesting I am the sender.
I'm getting the exact same mailer bot using my domains this week. Most frustrating. Where were your names bought / where are they hosted?
In my case this is UK2 and iWeb. Wonder if there is a pattern, especially as they are using my personal one which gets a lot less spam (and is not used much). I' m not suprised on the advertised publicly marketed shop based domain name.
