Damn You Spamming RobotsSince 11:30PM last night and this morning, I've gotten over Return-Path: <jake@mydomain.com>...it's fairly obvious these didn't come from my server (this particular one came from some ISP in Korea). I need to go through some of the other messages and start digging through the IP addresses to see if there is a few that are the bulk of it so I can report them IPs to the appropriate abuse folks. Anybody know a bulk way to search through these in Outlook 2003? Posted by Jake on 04/22/08 @ 09:20 AM

Someone is having fun on behalf of our domain. And now matter how many times I try to explain to our users what is happening, I still get paniced calles and e-mails, "I'm getting bounced messages from someone I don't now, and I didn't send them, is someone hacing my Outlook?" Spammers should be drawn and quartered. SM said on 04/22/08 @ 10:37 PM: The thing is, these NDR's shouldn't be sent out in the first place. Barracuda especially, are guilty of having their anti-spam devices send NDR's out by default. The Dren said on 04/23/08 @ 04:30 AM: Good point, we have NDR disabled on our Exchange server. Jake said on 04/23/08 @ 09:11 AM: On cPanel servers, however (which is what I use), there are very good valid reasons for sending NDRs versus just sending everything to /dev/null. Just something to think about. :-) SM said on 05/01/08 @ 01:41 PM: Fair enough for cpanel but I have areal issue with anti-spam devices being set up to send NDR's by default. Our Barracuda was receiving around 1.2 million spams a day. Can you imagine the amount of unnecessary traffic (and hassle to the innocent domain holders) if an NDR was sent out in each case? A lot of anti-spam devices see the NDR's as spam and send out another NDR. Before you know it, they're multiplying like bunny rabbits! Post a comment |
