    I have been having problems with a domain which spammers are using in forged email headers. So I am getting returned mail form spam blockers and such to email addresses at my domain which does not exist.

    I have checked that the server is not compromised and changed passwords. The mail is continuing.

    My question is - in terms of letting the hosts receiving this spam know that the mail is not coming from my domain, what an I do? Does it help to set the catchall address to :blackhole; or :fail: no such address here? If so, which on is better?

    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    I would suggest taking a look at the post by one of the cPanel developers
