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.
