Re: 5.5 Outgoing SMTP queue

[Chris H]

so what I am gleaming from this is:
in the tracking log there are obviously thousands of emails over the 
last day. All are to legitimate internal addresses or bad internal 
addresses. When the NDR goes back from one of these 'bad' addresses it 
is the email in my outgoing smtp queue with a destination of (for 
example) aol.com and an originator of either <> (null) or (most likely 
bad) [EMAIL PROTECTED] . . .

Yes, those would be problems. Look at your SMTP tracking logs.

with originator addresses I dont recognize . . .

out.

is it safe to assume that in the queue listing if it does 
       

not have my 
   

users in the ORIGINATOR column it is UCE? If it is a group email, 
group reply, etc. would a different email address appear in 
ORIGINATOR? I mean, in my queue, it is literally 100 to 1 
       

what looks 
   

like legitimate email vs. an originator I havent heard of 
       

or <>. I do 
   

understand the <>. ;)
