First, cheek your logs and see if your sending messages, or watch for SMTP traffic. You can also see if your on a black list. If you are really sending spam you should show up on a few within a couple of hours.
However, the more likely case is that the infected machine is not yours and is using your address to forge the from header. When the receiving server fails to deliver it politely informs who it thinks to be the sender. Some servers are even kind enough to attach the original message so you can look at the headers. -----Original Message----- From: plug-discuss-boun...@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us [mailto:plug-discuss-boun...@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us] On Behalf Of Tuna Sent: Tuesday, March 10, 2009 3:36 PM To: Main PLUG discussion list Subject: Fail Message is Fail Messages for Fail Messages that I Never Failedto Send??? This really clubs me in the kneecaps with a concealed-sword cane. Over the past two days, I have been getting these messages that would suggest that I'm sending viagra spam to people and failing at it. I am getting dozens of those qmail-send failmails. Some of them are in Spanish or German. I have been just marking them as spam so I wouldn't see them but THEY'RE JUST TOO MANY, CAPTAIN!!! I've actually been thinking of writing a little script server-side to just archive them and give them to me in a weekly digest, and during bad spells like this I could just have it not send them at all. If plug-discuss doesn't have a better solution, that is. kthx -- Andrew "Tuna" Harris Hacker, Caffeine-Addict http://supertunaman.com --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
