Hi, I've been running a Courier mail server for a few years now but in the last few days I've become concerned that I might be sening out some spam. I'm getting a number of bounces which are reported as being sent from r...@localhost on my server (I've blanked out the addresses myself). There are two examples below.

Jan  5 13:46:46 lighthouse courierd: started,id=009A9559.4B3ACF8B.00001983,from=<r...@localhost>,module=esmtp,ho st=######.##,addr=<#...@######.##> Jan  5 13:46:46 lighthouse courieresmtp: id=009A9559.4B3ACF8B.00001983,from=<r...@localhost>,addr=<#...@######.##>: 554 Sorry, message looks like SPAM to me Jan  5 13:46:46 lighthouse courieresmtp: id=009A9559.4B3ACF8B.00001983,from=<r...@localhost>,addr=<#...@######.##>,s tatus: failure


Jan  5 14:19:26 lighthouse courierd: started,id=009AADE8.4B3ACFEC.000036FE,from=<r...@localhost>,module=esmtp,ho st=******.**,addr=<**...@******.**> Jan  5 14:19:28 lighthouse courieresmtp: id=009AADE8.4B3ACFEC.000036FE,from=<r...@localhost>,addr=<**...@******.**>: No route to host Jan  5 14:19:28 lighthouse courieresmtp: id=009AADE8.4B3ACFEC.000036FE,from=<r...@localhost>,addr=<**...@******.**>, status: deferred

The vast majority are like the second one and just get deferred for ever but a few are like the first one an appear to be getting through to a remote server. I think I'm sending out the mail but I can't be sure. What do I need to check?

Well, find out what's in those messages. Look in the /var/spool/courier/msg[sq]
