Please help!
I administer the e-mail server (Exchange 5.5) for my small consulting
company (DJI). I am getting lots of spam mail addressed to non-existent
e-mail addresses. These addresses have never been used. Some seem to be
valid
addresses ([EMAIL PROTECTED], or [EMAIL PROTECTED]), while others seem to be made up
from some random character generator ([EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
I get about 30-50 of these messages per day. Naturally, they are bounced by
the server, and I route them to the Administrator mailbox. Some of the
bounce messages back to the sender also get bounced (mainly due to invalid
addresses).
I am now getting e-mail from someone telling me (actually they are sending
it to one of the invalid e-mail addresses) not to spam them anymore. I have
spam relaying turned off in Exchange.
Do any of you folks have this problem, and if so, what do you do about it?
I am desperate, and am considering disabling the dji.com MX record in the
dns (for a week) so that (hopefully) this spam will be stopped at the
source.
This is causing me quite a problem.
