    I am not very sure whether I understand what you have in mind and ask
    help for. So don't mind asking for being sure: you mean you have for
    instance a domain registered innocent-domain.com. Then a spammers comes
    along a sends his messages with addresses @innocent-domain.com. The bad
    side: you will get more or less bounces and maybe even complaints by
    annoyed recipients. Do you speak of this case? My answer then: you can't
    do anything against that.
    I don't understand which role "website" plays in your understanding.
    Maybe you think about spammers are grabbing valid email addresses from
    websites. Against this you can act by not putting valid email address
    formats in the source code of your web sites. Different solutions
    (scripts) are available for this, so that a regular website visitor has
    not a real problem to mail you feedback.
