Hi Ferrell,

 

Its called "backscatter".

I had to post some info about it on my site for my own clients. Feel free to
copy it.

I am currently looking at alligate gateway in order to add some added
protection to my mail network.

However, declude does have a filter for this and i did install it and no one
has really complained since then so it may have worked.

 

Kindest Regards

Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] SPAMMERS using "postmaster@<domain>" in
their FROM email
Importance: High

 

Don't know if Declude (or anyone) can help, but we are seeing

a L O T  of bounce-backs that show that the SPAMMERS are

using valid  postmaster@ <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <domain>  (that we
host) as their FROM address

and send the SPAM out thru Post Offices other than ours.

 

When the SPAM goes to a non-existant address, it bounces back

to the valid postmaster@ <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <domain> on my
Server.

We are getting 5,000 - 10,000 of these bounces per day..

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks very much

Ferrell
