I am the owner of bobpalin.com – I wish I knew who was faking the dex@bobpalin.com address and how to stop them. I have spent a lot of time on this problem, they are not using my mail server just altering the headers of their email.
My apologies for any inconvenience this has caused you.

Great site. A lot of useful information here. I’m sending it to some friends!
