There is a way to prevent it using Sender Policy Framework (SPF) but it's complicated and not everyone agrees that it's the way to go. Every now and then I look at it and think "No, it's too much hassle"

greyriver does it happen to you often then? this is a first for me...

Not me, but I've known people it's happened to and I figure it's a matter of time, so I looked into what you can do.

Personally I think catching and hanging spammers is the real answer.
