Although I have been running a site for years, I am fairly new at a lot of things. So here is my question.

How do I stop spoofing?

I assume that spoofing is when someone uses what looks like an email account from my web site and then uses it to send spam. If it called something else other than spoofing, then please correct me.

Also, before I migrated to this web host, the previous host I had in which I had the same spoofing problem, their tech support people told me that there was a feature that the spammers found on my account that allowed them to spoof. They disabled that feature. Does this Lunar Pages have anything that a spammer can exploit? And is there anything on FrontPage that a spammer can exploit?

If they are sending email from your account, you may have a script running that has been compromised. Be sure to update to the latest versions all scripts that you may be using such as blogs, message boards, etc. Also use the File Manager to look at the files on your site to see if there are any inappropriate files lurking there.
