think of it this way. your mail address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] (smtp)right...the exchange server knows this.
but say I send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] NDR..why cause I dont exist in the server (no smtp address) So a spammer often has their program generate names to the domain on the chance that will get to a real/existing address. I see like [EMAIL PROTECTED] all the time...but I have no [EMAIL PROTECTED] so I dont care... Just cause they send spam at me to a bogus address does not mean it is being relayed. I think I got this right? bill -----Original Message----- From: Karon Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 12:58 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Anonymous messages in the outbound queue So if an NDR is trying to go to faked addresses used by SPAMMERS, then does that mean that my server is being SPAM RELAYED? I've done the Relay test and it's not being used as a Relay so are they getting in some other way? When I called Microsoft they say it's from a misconfigured firewall but my firewall guy says "impossible". So, I'm back to looking at the Exchange server. Any other ideas? Thanks! It's normal. They're NDRs, and probably NDRs trying to go to the faked addresses used by spammers.
