Hey All,

        I have been subscribing to this list for over a year now and have received 
a ton of great information and a few laughs.  Even though I hate myself 
right now for what I am about to do I am going to do it anyway.  That's 
right I am going to ask a relaying question.  I am currently running RH 6.2 
and I have done all the normal relaying prevention steps.  I have a control 
file populated with my domain name and i have tested my Qmail server from 
the outside and I cannot relay mail through my server.  Yet I keep double 
bounced messages from spammers sending email to users that don't exist and 
using a unknown user name from my server.  For example

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mail.appliedi.com.
I tried to deliver a bounce message to this address, but the bounce bounced!
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)
--- Below this line is the original bounce.
