OK. Here is the scenario. We experienced a power outage yesterday for about 2 hours. Our IMail server went down before I could bring it down 'gracefully'.
Since the power has been restored, I have been receiving several copies of spam mail in my inbox, all addressed to different users on our network. It appears that every single message that is flagged as spam is being sent to my inbox. I do have all postmaster messages forwarded to my account. I cannot find any settings in the Declude files that pertain to this. I do not think that the users are suddenly sending all spam messages to the postmaster account or to me personally. The logs show the following for each of these messages: 07:27 15:51 SMTP-(00000000) Info - Adding Queue file C:\IMail\spool\Qxxxxxxxxxxxxx.SMD 07:27 15:51 SMTP-(04E00461) processing C:\IMail\spool\Qxxxxxxxxxxxxx.SMD 07:27 15:51 SMTP-(04E00461) ldeliver fhu.edu jdove-main (1) I am the postmaster for all our domains, but I have no knowledge of any settings that forward spam mail to the postmaster or to my email address. Even if there is a setting to do this, nothing had been changed before or after the outage.this just started happening after the power was restored. I am running Declude Junkmail. You mentioned "spam that got blocked but sent to the postmaster@ account (in which case you need to change your anti-spam software to take a better action)" Where is this setting? This may be my problem. How this got changed though I haven't a clue. Jeff -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of R.

You'll need to be more specific. Are you referring to general spam (in which case the fact that it comes to the postmaster@ account is irrelevant -- you just need anti-spam software like Declude JunkMail), spam that got blocked but sent to the postmaster@ account (in which case you need to change your anti-spam software to take a better action), or spam that users are getting and forwarding to the postmaster@ account (as their way of complaining)? -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.
