The 204.189.82.5 address is my main IMail server. Any ideas?

Either block by IP or domain name. One one server we don't do filtering =
except for those servers/domains which repeatedly give connection =
refused or
timed out. In this case, I go through the mailq output looking for =
messages
from MAILER-DAEMON and take the domain name of the sender and add it to =
a=20
reject map. A bit of scripting and this could be made much quicker.
Also, see why the bouces are being generated. If you are using this as =
a=20
frontend to IMail, do you export your users to Postfix? This would =
allow=20
postfix to do a reject for unknown users instead of bouncing them.
Keep in mind that on a busy server there will always be a number of =
valid=20
connection timed out or rejected messages that aren't the result of spam =
just varying network issues.
