Evil Mail Forgers

The bad guys continue to do bad things.

"They" have now started using my witsdom.com domain to forge the "from" address on spam e-mails they are sending.  This results in two major hassles:

1. My in-box gets filled with non-delivery notices because many of the addresses the spammers send to are invalid.  Even though the "from" address is not a valid user in my domain, because I am the administrator, I see them all.
2. As more and more spam goes out and gets caught by automated anti-spam agents or gets reported by users, the entire domain gets blocked by more and more mail servers.  Eventually, I'll no longer be able to receive valid email sent from valid senders because the servers will block the mail due to the domain being viewed as a spam initiator.

I have searched the Internet trying to find a way to overcome this challenge, but so far, I have come up with nothing.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Suggestions along the lines of: just give up and shut down your sites and domains and servers will also be seriously considered.
