Stranger than strange email problem

First of all, I 'think' I have the right forum, but no doubt someone will shout at me and maybe even point me in the right direction.

OK Here's the problem/question.

I have a site that is hosted, URL and any emails are redirected to my aol screen name. There is an email address on the site that is like URL.

I am often getting MAILER-DAEMON messages that informs me that emails can't be delivered, with a from: address as URL. I cannot reply with that email address and any replies I send, will originate from my AOL address.

Is there anyway I can stop this?

(^^;(Oh! Mailer Daemon also appeared to me.)

And surprised me saying the same thing as yours. Mine is private msn hotmail adress.

But when I think about it a while, there is many such a utility to send a maile under the assumed name of other address. Most of them are for assuming the address of one's Mobile telephone. However anyone can make use of it for other purposes freely and easily. One of the readme.txt of them says,"Never misuse this programme"

Though the programme must not be so complex one. We have no way but to accuse the person who send it, from the header. But this is also uninteligible disguised? one.

In the case of a certain sufferer, the sender is specified as from a certain mobile company. When he complain of it to the company. The company said, "Please report to the police, on inquiry from the police, we'll enter on it."
