# doesn't resolve for me
I've been getting loads of odd mails saying, 'www.co.uk is going to cut off your email'

Can't even tell if it's spam or a virus.

# Spam/Virus stuff
has been going out disguised as coming from my domain.

I only know because I have been getting all the undelivered mails bounced back to me.

# yes
I don't really think woolworths are cutting off my mail.

Just wondered what it was.

Well, obviously yes - hence I keep getting them sent to me.
