I've gotten this same message now from four different AOL users today.
Just wondering if anyone knows if this is just a group of people working
together to fight spam, or if AOL is doing this, sending e-mail from their
users without them knowing, or ... ???

That looks like the less than fabulous "spam hater" program in action.
It writes complaint mail automatically, and is very easily confused
by forged headers.
I get enough screwed up spam hater mail at abuse.net that I got the
guy who wrote the program to default the complaints to a special
subdomain of abuse.net just for spam hater users so I can tell them
using simple direct language why they're hosed.
Not much to do about it other than to send them a boilerplate message
encouraging them to learn how to recognize forged headers and to join
CAUCE.

No, it's not. Spammers naturally want to hide their identity because
a lot of people dislike spam and a lot of ISP's nuke spamming accounts.
'nodomainname' doesn't sound to *me* like a domain name that's likely to
be used, and I'd bet the spammers might agree with me... which is why they
may be using it..
Basically, check your mail headers and complain to the ISP where the stuff
is originating from. Since they are forging your company's domain name, if
this is costing you a sufficient amount (in terms of time spent dealing
with complaints, load on your mail server, etc.) you may want to consider
suing.
