[email protected] where armyofharmony is my domain

THe content of the emails are:

simple...

the above non commercial offer is directed at non commercial
charities only. push charity info on site for details. this offer is
not a commercial service that is absolutely not at all available
for sale or lease or trade of any kind.

----------------------------


all the addresses are like sales@armyofharmony or accounting@armyofharmony


Why is it spamming me?

It's nothing to do with your domain, it's probably just some spammers spoofing your address. Post the headers if you want to be absolutely sure.

are the emails going to your yahoo account?

it's because you have a link containing your email address there - people are just harvesting your email address and creating an email using your domain and sales or something as a user on that domain. im not sure, but i doubt that taking the link down would make a lot of difference to what you're currently getting, but i'd take it down to avoid getting more

yeah it's going to my yahoo account

Doesn't that mean it's coming from register1?

Have you currently got Register1 forwarding mail to your Yahoo account?

Edit: This is where it originally came from: 24.124.106.13

As I said, it's just someone spoofing your email address .

Set the forwarding to only forward addresses which exist, not a 'catch-all' forwarder, that way e-mails to non-exiisting addresses will be dropped.

Register1 aren';t semnding it, they're just forwarding the email as with anty others for yor domain
