Sounds like it might be an old SirCamm Issue. We used to receive several thousands of e-mails per day to a recipient that didn't exist but had our domain name; choked the mail server completely. Contacted a few of the people that were sending (and were located in Australia). Some were aware that they had a virus but hadn't managed to get rid of it, others were completely surprised - their antivirus checks came up with nothing. They didn't even know that they were sending e-mails and had never heard of the recipient they were sending to. We still receive these e-mails today but have given up and simply block them at the firewall (has been going on for months now).

I've seen a similar situation where some offline users keep receiving the same messages over and over again. Is this what is happening? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 01, 2002 1:15 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Security Assistance (Urgent) Which version of Exchange do you have and where is your smtp configuration sitting. You need to check the configuration of smtp and check your authentication and delivery restrictions. I'm being rather simplistic here, but I believe there is some steps on this on the swynk archives on how to do this. http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp Dot > -Original Message----- > From: Salas, Frankie [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, March 01, 2002 10:29 AM > To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues > Subject: Security Assistance (Urgent) > > I'm new to network admin (2 weeks on the job) and wanted to know if > someone can guide me the right way. > > Received a message from my director stating that he received a call > that someone is getting spammed from two people at our company (about > 75 messages a day).
