Thanks -- that makes a little more sense. I've sent the registrar/
host (yes, same company) the question about who is spoofing the e-
mail addresses. I'll let you know if I hear anything.
I use my mac's spam filtering, and Julie uses the spamfilter at her
webmail account -- both do a pretty good job of keeping these things
out.
The bounced messages seem to contain normal spam-y things: messages
with odd subject lines, offers of diet pills or other pills... I'll
collect a couple and let you take a look if the registrar/ISP isn't
helpful.
Thanks for all the responses... looks like this isn't something we
can expect to fix easily.
Thanks,
Matt & Julie
