Hi Jeff,

thanks for your answer. But my domain is team-velocity.net and not
mccable.com. And my ISP provides an MX record. It's just that the ISP only
adds a wildcard for A records. The MX record can be anything.domainname.com
then. I'm not sure if this is the source for these emails.
Can you please have a second look on the mail header? Because I don't quite
understand why these emails are coming to my server and what I can do about
it to stop it?
