  • "Catchall" email

    Yesterday I received in excess of 400 emails, all FROM various places, such as MAIL-DAEMON@ , MAIL SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR@ , (different addresses) and the SUBJECT lines were also different, i.e., Unable to deliver, Failure, Undeliverable, etc.

    Thanks to VodaHost's great support, they told me how to alleviate receiving these emails. The instructions were as follows: Log into Control Panel, click on Mail icon, select Default Account, then set your default account to :fail:no such user here.

    My questions:
    1. If someone was using my email address, diana@dianasdesigns2.com to
    send out spam, were they using my smtp server?

    2. How can this be stopped? Or can it be stopped?

    3. Should I remove the email link on my website for those who want to contact me?

    4. All those 400 plus "returned" emails were apparently SENT to people,
    since I received those 400 plus emails saying they were undeliverable.
    So is everyone under the impression that Diana's Designs is sending out spam??? (If so...NOT GOOD!)

    Thought this issue might be of interest to anyone who has or might experience this.
