Recently we aquired a new domain from another ISP, just to host their
website. We host the website on our FreeBSD server, and now someone is
apparently spamming through the domain. Someone is sending emails, for
example, from "risingstocks@xxxxxxxxxx" and many other different email
addresses.
First of all, check to see if your mail server is an open relay. If it is, you need to secure it. Google for "mail open relay" to find out more.
As already mentioned in this thread, postfix is a good alternative to sendmail, as it comes with a default configuration that is quite secure.
Second, if someone is forging their from adresses to be from your domain, there is very litte you can do about it.
