With so many people around the world having unsecured proxy servers and not knowing it, such things are bound ot happen. Crackers compile lists of them, then route themselves through one, five, ten of these if they so choose, to obfusticate their trail. So their apparent originating IP addresses won't help you. As for where you'd go to prevent yourself being spam blacklisted... that I don't know. Perhaps Pugzly or one of the other webserver admins can help. I've got no experience in dealing with pharming. My suggestion, though, would be to warn your webhost (if you're not hosting yourself) and your domain name providor that it's happened, and provide them with copies of some of the bounced mails. Also realise that the bounced mails may not in fact be genuine. They might not be evidence at all of pharming, but of spammers trying to be tricky. Did these bounced mails have attachments at all? They could also be evidence that spammers are appending your domain to their spam messages, so they get routed back to you. If the email headers contain IP addresses for the originator (which they sometimes do) does this IP match yours?
