Check with your mail provider/server admin. Looks like they dropped the ball if this is happening. SPF record at the very least, it has been ages since i had to deal with tripe like this. Nowadays MyCo email is in Office365 (I get 5 E3 licenses with MS Action Pack among the shed load of other MS licenses for £165/year = no brainer)

Have you set up SPF with your email provider? I did this years ago when I had problems. It just took a phone call and an email with the script and it was sorted.

Have a look at this

I got a Nigerian 419 scam through the post yesterday. Apparently, someone with the same surname as me has died in China, leaving a huge amount in a Chinese bank account that the sender is will to go halves with me. I really appreciated the fact it was a letter, not an email. It's the personal touch that so often gets missed these days.

Spammers got my email address as their sender

Looks like a spammer is using MyCos email address to send tulipe our, which means I'm getting (so far) best part of 5,000 bounced emails coming back to my mail box, I've got a rule which junks them all but anything I can do? And what are the odds my domain is going to get blacklisted?
