I hate SPAM(MERS) !!!

and another thing I hate, is to have to make apologies for something I did not do, and would never do - period. But before the world gets the impression that I am "One of Them" (a -ugghhh, very, very dirty word: Spammer), I want to set something straight here. Some scum - a person or persons that is/are lowlier than an earthworm digging through a pile of manure - is using my domain to send out spam letters... and I am even one of the recipients of this spam.
I called my domain hosting provider last night to ask what I could do about - he didn't have a clue what I was talking about (since when, I ask, is it required that the users of the technology are supposed to be more informed than the tech-support of that same technology? )

Here it is - my apology: I apologize that someone is using my domain name in their email address to send spam. I do not know who it is, that is doing this, as I am still trying to find someone that is knowledgeable (and not just a big mouth) that knows their way around security issues so that this bothersome issue is resolved - and hopefully the spammer(s) get caught in the process and locked away - for good. Come to think of it, wouldn't it be nice if spammers were subjected to life long jail sentences without access to a computer when caught and sentenced? Up to now I've been a peaceful spam recipient - now I am making it my mission to rid the world of 'em.
