Will the filter keep spoofed email senders from getting into the queue manager in IMail? the format I am seeing is like bipweks@<domain-name.com . The biggest problem I see is the server keeps re-trying to send the email, but bipweks account does not exist in our email system, so I would like to keep them from getting into the queue manager. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of David Barker Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 12:25 PM To: declude.junkmail@declude.com Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Forged-Spam Backscatter
We use 2 filters to address the issue which work well for us. I will make them available on our website this week.

From about 70,000 mails a day to around 110,000 /day. Most destined for our users is getting properly filtered by declude. What is getting thru is backscatter from spam that is forging addresses from domains we host. It seems just about any address that is posted on a website seems to be being used to forge outgoing spam (not from our server) -- and is generating all sorts of bounce messages. I suspect there is not much I can do to block this backscatter without blocking legit bounce messages... but I thought I'd ask.
