Some short domain names (3 to 6 characters) are valuable. But owning them carries risk: since so many companies have three to 6 character acronyms, they often feel they are entitled to your domain.

If you own a nice domain name, here are some tips to avoid losing them in arbitration:

1. Do not park the domain name. It’s possible that a company with the same acronym will point to ads on the parked page as infringing their trademark. You need to control the content, and parked pages frequently optimize with ads that can be used against you.

2. Create a site. Even a small site is fine. Your goal here is to make sure no one can claim you have no legitimate use and rights for the domain name. I recently talked with a domainer who owns several three letter domains. He creates an affiliate site for each one. Avoid having the content has related products to the trademark.

3. File for a trademark once #2 is done.

Of course, doing this doesn’t prevent you from receiving a UDRP letter. Consider the case of Ace.com and Ace.us. The best I can tell, this domain has been used for a legitimate business for many years. The owner of the sites, WebMagic Ventures, even has a trademark for the term “Ace”.

So who’s challenging the owner of Ace.com and Ace.us? There are a number of companies holding trademarks for the term “Ace”, and I can’t see a reason why any of them should be entitled to this domain. This could be a clear cut case of reverse domain name hijacking, but we’ll have to wait to see.

Question : Someone is sending spam and using my email address as the return path. I am getting 100′s of 550 error messages returned to my inbox. Any suggestions on how to correct this without deleting my email address?

Answer :

There is effectively nothing you can do about this, except to wait for it to stop.

Forging a return address on email is no more difficult than writing a letter, putting it in an envelope, putting someone else’s return address on the upper left corner, and dropping it in a mailbox.

If you’re using an email client program like Outlook to fetch your messages, you could set up a rule that looks for something in the subject line, for example, that identifies these bounce messages, and moves them all to a junk folder, for easier deletion.

Usually, the spammers don’t keep using the same address for too long – if they did, they’d start getting blocked. So, they switch spoof addresses pretty regularly, and your bulging mailbox should return to normal.

Also, check your website for any security holes, spammer may have used your scripts’ security bug to send spam.
