Thank you Len for your reply, and Happy Easter to all.

The IP address doing this is not in my relay list, I have very few servers
talking to IMGATE.

I had recently disabled SAV, and maybe forgotten to restart postfix after
that, so maybe this is why we are still seeing this SAV behavior ?

How is this preventable with SAV turned on and off?

Thanks,

mail from MAILER-DAEMON is postfix sending delivery messages to the 
sender, for messages that postfix accepted for your recipeints but 
were bounced by your mail server.

The hotmail senders are forged, so hotmail rejects.

.... this should stop postfix from accepting unknown recipients.

maybe you have a PC that is compromised and is sending out a bunch of crap?

Check your logs carefully for each of those [EMAIL PROTECTED]
