I'm getting lots of return messages (spoof).

Notice: Executive Web Hosting automatically creates a SPF record for all customers.

If you are getting tons of spam return-messages (like Failure Notification or Mailer Daemon) ... THIS IS SPOOF.

Partial Solution: Enable Default Address and set every catchall to :fail: no such address here. This will stop you from getting the bounce-backs, but the real problem is not solved.

Full solution: You need to create a SPF record. A SPF record is an entry added to the DNS zones for a domain. This record verifies that a user has permission to send mail from that domain. This is used to prevent spoofing for your domain. Please contact Executive Web Hosting via phone (1-888-834-1559), live chat, or email (support@executivewebhosting.com) to be sure you have a working SPF record.
