If I owned a domain (which I don't) and it was being misused in this manner,
I would do two things: Contact a lawyer about the possibility of suing the
spammer for damages caused by his misuse of my domain, and contact local
authorities about the possibility of bringing criminal charges of fraud or
forgery against the spammer for falsely using your domain name.
