Domain hijacked - what options do I have? - Williamhawk - 12-26-2017
Hi,
I have been told by my domainhost that somebody has 'hijacked' my domainname and is sending out spam that appears to come from my address.
I am not sure I'm using the correct terms - here's an example. My website works fine. But the server at which my website is placed has reported that they get a ton of bounced emails that appear to have been sent from ..., plus a load of complaints.
I've been told the domain host has a filter up to stop the bounced spam from filling my mailbox, and they say the only remedy is to let hello.com die and move on to a new domain.
However, my business is called Hello, hence the domain hello.com , and my reluctance to change this.
I could in principle ignore the problem and go on using it. But I'm afraid newsletters from hello.com might bounce and since there is a filter, they may disappear and I'll never know.
