can someone help me, someone has a domain redirecting to my domain, and I'm getting spam mail from this, hopefully this won't hurt anything which this domain is not listed in google, but can this hurt my site any?

How are you getting spam mail from a domain redirect? Unless the person forwarded the mail account to your mail account i dont see how you could be receiving the mail.

I think thats what they did, I have done a whois on the ip where i been recieving these e-mail from, and then a domain come up named http://www.rbnnetwork.com/

then i e-mailed dreamhost about it, and they said we don't know whats going on blah blah, and we can't help you with it, so I'm ticked off at them right at the moment hopefully this is not going to effect my domain any.

If i was you, i would redirect the mail you are receiving to an abondoned or made up mail account so they will receive the bounce back errors, and you will stop receiving the mail. Then ban the ip of the domain redirecting to you.

Thats what i think i would do until i figured it out for sure.

Depending on what type of hosting you have you could do it from the control panel, look for Ban IP, or simply contact your webhost with the IP you would like to be banned and they should be able to direct you.

You get the IP address from the whois when you look it up.
