Hi Michael and Ken, Colin: Do you by chance have a mail relay in front of your BlueOnyx that forwards the inbound emails to the BlueOnyx. Because *that* could be the problem. That is actually a very valid point. I need to check through the effected domains and see whether they are using a

Hi Colin, We are having issues with spammers sending thousands of emails to non-existent users on our hosted domains and our BX server then bouncing them as "554 5.5.1 Error: no valid recipients" and our IP consequently getting blacklisted for backscatter. Microsoft hate us now – Hotmail etc.
