Jeremy, FWIW,
I used to get a whole lot of those too... what I did was use procmail to sort them to a special folder called "Failures", using filters for MAILER-DAEMON/postmaster/etc in the subject/sender fields. The reason for this is, while I'm not getting 1,500 of them, I still want to know whether or not an email *I* sent bounced or not. Thusly, I'm not dropping them all. My convoluted .procmail file can be found in ~nion/.procmail.d or wherever, haha. Hope this suggestion along with what's on the wiki helped. - John > Hi all, > So the other day, some jerk decided that he'd use my email address to > send a bunch of spam to random email addresses.
