Naive question from me who knows very little about such things.

You have your own domain then? Would not spammers try to do DOS attacks for to use your domain as a spambot? Or maybe I get all this wrong but I vaguelly remember even big email providers get attacked now and then?

the reason I ask such dummie question is that this is why I have not thought of getting my own domain. I know too little on how to protect me from them. I mean if even big companies fail to protect themselves how could I do it?
