Angry How to Stop a Spammer...

Anyone have any suggestions on this? I know for a fact that there is a spammer that has been occassionally using one of our emails in the sender and return path of emails. I've gotten a couple of bouncebacks from emails sent using that.

I put the IP address in Google and found that it is a commonly rejected IP by a number of servers because of spam.

Is there any way to prevent this? We had a client that had a spammer do that to them to such a degree that they had to abandon the use of their domain name for email and I don't want to go that road. It would seem that ANYONE could use ANY email address in the sender and return path like that.

Thanks!

Yeah there's not much you can do about it, chances are if you ignore it it will go away, it sucks but thats just one flaw of the internets.
