We have a lot of domains utilizing the [EMAIL PROTECTED] address and it is not very practical for us to remove them (at east not in a timely fashion). I suppose we can add some checks to our Declude spam to get rid of these. Does anyone know if there is anything we should be concerned with security-wise on the mail server itself regarding this? I assume not since it uses it's own SMTP server.

Yes,

We have had lots of reports of this just today.  We don't setup Admin
accounts and it seems to be most prevelent on our main ISP domains, rather
than just hosted domain's.  Thus far, we have just banned the address admin@
on our Declude on our main domain's.

We are considering e-mailing out a hoax alert.

file


I have had several clients contact me today with them receiving an email
from [EMAIL PROTECTED] stating that their email account was about to
expire. The exact message follows

Hello there,

I would like to inform you about important information regarding your email
address. This email address will be expiring. Please read attachment for
details.

Best regards, Administrator

It has an attachment of message.zip that is 17k.

We set up admin accounts for all of our users. Has anyone else had this
problem and if so how did you deal with it?
