Is there anything I can do about my domain being used to send spam? My provider says that it appears it's just my addresses being spoofed, and thus, there's nothing they can do. I was concerned I was being used in some way as a junk remailer, but if they're just spoofing my addresses, there's nothing I can do, right? It's very frustrating, knowing I'm contributing to the problem, somehow, and having my nonprofit's name go out attached to some very problematic spam. Eventually, spam filters will block my domain, right? Plus, it's filling my mail folders with undeliverable notices to where I can't distinguish between it and valid mail.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I need a new laptop case for my 13" MacBook. Am thinking of getting a backpack (one specifically designed for a laptop). Any recommendations?
I'd check to make sure the shares aren't already there. If you post your "/etc/fstab" file, I can tell you if a windows partition is being mounted automatically.
I suspect what happened was that during the install it labeled the linux partition as the bootable drive and for whatever reason stripped the windows partition of that label. And the reason the ubuntu install crashed was because it ran out of room. I just need to do some research, I think, to try and re-identify the windows partition as bootable.
If I didn't have so much data I needed to keep, I would just wipe the thing and be done with it.
I have a Brenthaven backpack for the 17" Powerbook that I love. They aren't cheap, but they are extremely well made. I've had mine for almost 4 years and it is in constant use and it is in near perfect shape.

If you have a Windows XP disc, you can probably fix it by going to the recovery console and running "fixmbr".
Mac commercial spoofs. I love the Linux dweeb who keeps showing up.

Okay, the networking one almost killed me.
Bwah!

If they are right about the spoofing, then no there is nothing they or you can do. What spoofing means in essence is that they are signing your name to their email - possibly going to so far as to make it look like it was sent from IP address. But they need not actually go anywhere your server or even ISP. It is just a type of forgery. This is all assuming your provider is correct.
