I am receiving responses to emails that I did not send?

Spammers prefer to send spam from legitimate email addresses and if possible they like the email look as if it came from a known person. This helps them bypass the spam blocker and increases the chances that the contact will open the email. The practice of making an email look like it comes from you when it does not is called spoofing. It is similar to writing someone else’s name and address in the “from” section on a postal envelope. If you are receiving a lot of bounced emails or people tell you that they've received junk from you, then you may be getting spoofed. You may want to consider setting up DKIM.

What is DKIM?

DKIM (Domain Keys Identified Mail) is a method used by recipient servers to determine if an email is spoofed. It acts as a digital "signature" that can be authenticated using a public domain record. The DKIM key in your email indicates that you are indeed the person who sent it. If you are using an email address linked to your domain, (such as This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) you will need to set up DKIM if you wish to use it.
