How do I stop someone using my domain for Spam emails?
Hi Blog Readers,
Every now and then I seem to have one of those low life Viagra sellers using my domain for spam emailing people.
I have done everything I can think of to try and prevent then from doing this, but they seem to keep doing it.
I just wondered if anyone out there new of a way to stop them?
The headers from one of the bounce backs look like this:

As you can see from the headers, I have setup the SPF record and it is receiving a "hardfail"
We are using Google Apps for our email hosting, so you'd kinda hope that they have got things pretty much secured down, so what I am missing? Or is it always going to be possible for other people to fake sending emails using another domain?
