Lodewijkvdb.com domain has been abused by spammer

Yesterday this domain has been abused by a spammer. Last evening my email box filled with over 3500 “Returned mail” messages for addresses that do not exist. This morning the count is at >7500 messages. I can’t even begin to imagine how many were delivered.

I don’t know if they abused the mailserver at my provider, or that they just used my domain as the (fake) return-address. I’ve submitted a support ticket at my provider, but I have to wait until the workday starts (in 3 hours) to get a response. I’ll update this message when I have more news.

For anyone visiting this site to check who sent them the junk email: I apologize for the inconvenience! I have nothing to do with those mails, please delete them at once! I sincerely regret that you were bothered by that email, as much as I regret that my domain was abused for this.

I’ll keep you posted.

[Update]
The servers at my provider Argeweb were not abused. The spammer only used my domain as a fictitious domain where the spam was coming from. Argeweb was so kind as to remove the catch all function from my account, so the remainder of the mail will bounce, instead of flooding my inbox (counter stopped at 8000 undeliverable mails). Not a lot more I can do but to delete all the messages.
