Hi Steve,
you wrote in part:
I did a file scan looking for the "adding" phrase and it is not to be
found. I am sure IMS is adding this somewhere internally.
It is. If you look in the configurator there are some switches which
mind things like auto-cleanups, etc. I don't run 2.7 so I don't know
what you have exactly but certainly messages like that come from iMS itself.
I separated the network from other machines and the spam kept showing
up. The last thing for me to verify is to place a packet sniffer on
the interface so I can make a cut plane of where this is coming from
for absolute sure.
I really have no clue how this is happening right now. In the meantime
I banned the server from receiving email from itself and this helped
immensely. The little spammy SOB is still floating around, but not
causing me major headaches at this point, so I can now concentrate on
figuring out what I have.
One trick if you can afford the downtime is to turn off the SMTP and
POST servers and look in what is in the POST queue. We have had similar
things happen and ofter found an email in the queue that was effectively
looping, ie it was sending to itself but with a CC: that went elswhere
or something similar. I suggest that you do a search for the dodgy
domain name and pull those items out of the queue. Then start SMTP with
POST still off and see what comes in. If you still get then then it is
external to iMS and you can then debug from that perspective.
