There were several viruses that used the "admin@" nomemclature. MiMail comes to mind off the top. I suspect they were probably slipping those viruses and figured no one would really ever send mail from that address and outright blocked it.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Admin@ account blocked


A lot of our mail goes out with addresses from admin@ whatever the domain is. Someone just registered on our site from the European Space Agency and our registration confirmation message was blocked with the following message:

Diagnostic code: smtp;503 5.0.0 AntiSpam: Please use a real email address, the user admin@ is blocked.

Has anyone seen this before?  It seems like a very strange spam rule.

Bill
