Yep, I agree.  I'm getting a fsck-load of bounces allegedly sent by me
from iwon.com in the states.  It's all porn material (who has time?),
sent by someone running M$ Outhouse (very obviously not me), using my
name, my copyrighted domain name (from mx2.pananix.com -- no such
server), and the e-mail isn't digitally signed.

I'd love to slap a lawsuit on this spammer for:
1.  theft of intellectual property
2.  identity theft
3.  slandering my company name and my name by sending porn in my name
4.  any of a number of other felonies

It all comes out of iwon.com (we're innocent, honest), from IPs that
don't exist (1.0.53.xxx).  I've saved several.  Just waiting.  Need to
find a good lawyer who understands this stuff and won't charge me a
fortune to prosecute this case.  The FBI (think that stands for Fscking
Ball-busting Idiots) don't have a clue.   Maybe if someone started
sending messages out alleging to be FBI agents they'd notice.  They sure
don't take notice of proof of felonious activities. Anyway ...

Ciao,
