[olug] DDOS attack on my Inbox. Spam "from me" being rejected

[Nick Hajek]

You've probably already done this, but make sure your server is not 
configured as an open relay.   

You might want to also set up a Sender Policy Framework record on your 
DNS server to help keep your legitimate out going mail from being tagged 
as spam because if it's source.
