You are the one that made it sound like you are being hit by spammers. First, if someone is trying to send an email into your server, and the user does not exist, the sending server is told no user, do not send. This will not create any outgoing email on your server.
Second, with that many users, and with that much incoming to user's boxes that are full, you might want to think about administrative actions; like increasing mail box size, auto email to the user or some other notification about box full; our you might need to increase your hardware. Third, since according to your message that a good amount of the incoming is Spam, I would highly recommend using a third party add-on, like Declude Hi-Jack and Declude JunkMail to help cut down on the incoming, or at least filter it. Disabling the postmaster account will not solve the problems that you have, it will only create more. John Tolmachoff, Network Engineer 211 E.

It works as follows. 1. Jimmy at Yahoo sends mail to Someone@ Our Server 2. Someone's mailbox is full 3. Postmaster returns message to Jimmy saying Mailbox full So we have a lot of outbound postmaster messages in the queue, from the postmaster outbound. Our relay system is turned off to not allow any relaying. Jeremy Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
