Is there anything I can do about someone who has pointed their domain at my ip?

I'm running a dedicated server with own static IP for a while now. Some weeks ago I noticed while browsing logs some domain showing up and I was wondering why. After some playing around with that domain I noticed it's a full DNS-A hostname pointing at my IP.

What's the reason someone would do that? And is there anything I should worry about or keep in mind?

Actually - I don't mind, even though I'd prefer to run the server without any hostname (IP only).

It's probably a typo, but I would get in touch with the owner of the domain.

Using a whois tool you will get the Administrative and Technical contact.

You should try to have this fixed because if that domain gets associated with spamming, your IP might end up in black lists.

Most black lists have simple forms that you can fill in order to get out of them but it would be simpler to prevent that from happening...
