What I was trying to convey is that it doesn't have any impact on your ability to send/receive nor is it seen by anyone else. Emails are not going to others as tomr@yourdomain.com.<br /><br />I completely understand the SBS aspect.

I too run a small business and this is the first time I have experienced someone spoofing my domain.
