Yeah, but I wanted you to hear it from someone else. ;)

I'm afraid that "delete it and move on" is the best you can do.

It's really too bad that more people don't use/check SPF. That would stop a
great deal of it.

Thanks for the reply Eric,

So from reading the info at the link you provided there really is not
too much you can do to prevent backscatter?

[qmailtoaster] 100s of messages to one of my domains, specifically postmaster

[Richard Baxant]

I am getting 100s of messages since yesterday to one of my emails
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with these various subjects:

failure notice
Delivery Status Notification (Failure)
Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender
Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender

They are clearly all spam and virus messages, Is there a way I can
block these without killing the fact if a "valid" message actually
does fail that I still get the appropriate message?

TIA
