I suspect there's no way of blacklisting the sender without blacklisting Ned too. List administrators have been trying for years to overcome this sort of hijacking, but the spammers are always one (or two) steps ahead.
One thing you should try, Ned, is changing your password (if that hasn't already occurred to you). Bill PS Does anybody actually BUY stuff from a company that uses this sort of tactic? Anybody with a grain of sense would not be sending their credit card details to them.

Do people do this with emails from lists (e.g. lute list with all those rich possible customers and business partners...) thus they can send emails to list members? So the company's spy has looked up the list of members and then selected Ned? Is that the procedure? Does anybody know? Is there a not too expensive etc. way to protect a list from such hijackers?

I assume they now know how to finger Dowland's "Lachrimae" the way I do. Hope you're at least getting your own emails.
