Hi all, I'm slowly re-arranging my internet (hosting, email etc...) looking through my logs I notice that there are a fair number of bounces going on. Meaning that email is being 'returned to "sender"'.
I put "sender" as I expect they weren't the original source. So basically my system is acting in a manner to relay spam (assuming that the message body contains this). I am running fetchmail/exim4 on top of Debian. POP box is a 'catch all'. My question is whether there is a sensible solution to stop this? And example is Fetchmail grabs some email --- Jun 6 15:13:01 slone fetchmail[12257]: 3 messages for mungewel at mail.mungewell.org (20174 octets). Jun 6 15:13:01 slone fetchmail[12257]: reading message [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1 of 3 (11067 octets) Jun 6 15:13:02 slone fetchmail[12257]: flushed Jun 6 15:13:02 slone fetchmail[12257]: reading message [EMAIL PROTECTED]:2 of 3 (5931 octets) Jun 6 15:13:02 slone fetchmail[12257]: flushed Jun 6 15:13:02 slone fetchmail[12257]: reading message [EMAIL PROTECTED]:3 of 3 (3176 octets) Jun 6 15:13:02 slone fetchmail[12257]: flushed --- Exim reports on as unroutable --- 2006-06-06 15:13:02 1FnirG-0003DK-Nl <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] H=localhost (velocity.dnsracks.com) [127.0.0.1] P=esmtp S=3207 id=58BFAFF4.348 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-06-06 15:13:02 1FnirG-0003DK-Nl ** [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Unrouteable address --- and throws it back --- 2006-06-06 15:13:02 1FnirG-0003DQ-Um <= <> R=1FnirG-0003DK-Nl U=Debian-exim P=local S=4070 2006-06-06 15:13:14 1FnirG-0003DQ-Um => [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost H=shawmail.cg.shawcable.net [24.71.223.43] 2006-06-06 15:13:14 1FnirG-0003DQ-Um Completed --- Note that the incoming email was 3176 octets and outgoing is 4070, so I am assuming that exim is returning the message body.
