Title: NDR's stopping them?
Post by: Drifting on June 30, 2005, 11:01:50 AM

We are getting loads of NDR's going through our server, is there a way to stop them? Currently we have 1300 emails in the queue, and I am getting a little bored deleting them with qmhandle.

Id this the double bounce problem I have been reading about? I have Contribs mse 6.0.1 and Swerts AV and Spamassasin.

Thanks for the reply.

I thought I had been fairly descriptive of the problem.

Ok Say I have an email arrive and the recipient does not exist, sme returns it to sender often called an NDR. Now some bright spark has worked out buy sending email to a server and falsifying the sender address ans well as the recipient, it then gets bounced and your spam gets delivered back as an NDR to some unsuspecting person.

This is happening to a lot of people....
