Some one has been sending emails with our domain name through fakemailer websites. Is it possible to stop this mess as our donors feel threatned with sudden inflow of improper mails.
DO we have any regulatory authority for them

There are databases and filters that your site application or host could utilize to check the mail headers and then submit the mail headers/body to sites that deal with this like spamcop you could check, they have automated and manual methods for reporting spam.
This assumes you have access to the original mails.

There are various authorities around the world. Here is a page that list a few of them [spamlinks.net...]
However it is not likely that they will be of immediate help. There are also various technologies that are being tried out to address the abuse of using others people domains to send out e-mails, such as SPF, Domain Keys.
In the short term if you can identify who the culprits are you could get your lawyers to send them a cease and desist letter.

If people who receive these already have connections with you then it sounds like somebody on your mailing list has an infected machine. The spambot is probably taking names from their inbox or address book and putting those on outbound messages.
