Hi David,
I am afraid there is not a lot to do about it, other than trying to find
out from which provider the run is done (with the help of postmasters of
servers you get bounces from ?), and try to have him disconnected...
At my work we have the same problem with the old domain which needs to be
online for another year... 90 % of the mails arriving there are bounces on
spamruns done from somewhere on the internet ;-(
Regards, Bob
