Thanks for the responses.... As long as this will end eventually, I will weather the storm...
Unfortunately, rejecting the emails is not as simple as I would like - I host a number of domains through a mail server sitting in my DMZ - this is just a basic anti-virsu/spam server which knows nothing about the users at the backend. I know there must be a way of figuring out valid users on the backend but it is more hassle than it is worth at the moment. I'll stick to local filtering with kmail - although kmail does not want to automaticaly filter new mail upon arrival, so it is still a manula process/ Martin On November 21, 2005 09:08, bogi wrote: > Yep, i will join Dmitry, your domain will not be blocked, the rbls are more > intelligent than that. you might want to disable the catchall address for a > few weeks, just to reduce the impact on your server, after all, rejecting > an e-mail is less of resource hog than accepting it :-) > Cheers > Szemir > > On November 20, 2005 22:52, Martin Glazer wrote: > > Hi, > > > > About a week ago I started receiving all these undeliverable email > > messages - turns out that a spammer is using my domain name as the > > (forged) return address for spam they are sending out. > > > > My server is definitely not sending out the spam and the return address > > is of the format <some random name>@glazer.ca. > > > > I have a catchall address and this is where all these > > undeliverable/failure/out of office returned emails are collecting. > > > > Has anyone experienced this before? > > Any recommendations on what to do, if anything? > > Will my domain be listed on RBL lists? > > Personally I'm hoping that they will eventually move on to using another > > domain name and these messages will stop. > > > > Thanks > > > > Martin > > _______________________________________________ > clug-talk mailing list > [email protected] > http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca > Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) > **Please remove these lines when replying _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
