Check to see if it is trying to deliver NDRs. I recently had a customer that
had an enormous amount of mail in the bad mail plus his SMTP queue was huge.
I found that the system was trying to deliver NDRs back to the spammer's
address and of course the address was fake.

Interesting situation...
I've got a SBS2003 machine at a location...
Running Trenmicro Scanmaiil for AV

The other day the thing was hammered....

The Badmail folder had 200K+ files in it There where a bunch of smtp
queues for lot's of "messages" in them

It appeared that some entity....was "relaying"????? By using the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] address Yes the SBS is set NOT to relay..double
checked...

But it occur's to me that what if some clever spammer did a spoof using
the [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the FROM address??? Wouldn't the mail
server accept it cause well the domain checks out ok?

Any thought's or insites on this?

Thanks
bill
