There is no way (short of a lawsuit - good luck!!!) of stopping the forgers.

Yesterday I received about 20 bounces for spam that I supposedly sent 
from my personal account. Unfortunately most users and email servers 
are not clever enough to detect the forgery. Users complain that you 
sent the spam. Mail servers bounce the spam back to the forged 
return-path or from header. Even SIMS is not immune to this spoof.
