Domain spoofing

It seems that spammers are yet again spoofing my domain to send out spam emails.  This is really annoying but unpreventable apparently.

What happens is that the spammers send out loads of emails having modified the  "FROM" address to appear as if it came from an email on my domain.  They then obfuscate the email headers to hide their actual location making it very difficult to trace them.  Imagine someone handwriting hundred of letters and signing someone else's name and address and sending them out.  It would almost be impossible to prevent that, and domain spoofing is a similar concept but with emails.

A decent spam filter will more than likely prevent the spam getting through.  My apologies if you have received spam from this domain, I am doing what I can to prevent it.
