However all of the other domain names now accept all email even for users that dont exist. Then once its been accepted it will then attempt to reject the email. However the vast majority of spam originates from bogus from addresses resulting in heaps of double bounces. Is there any way around that.

Check .qmail-default this file is readable by vpopmail, and/or if you're using an alternative delivery (like maildrop). In such a case you have to add a first commented line to .qmail-default, with a bounce-no-mailbox string inside. Check also starting instructions. If you defined a CHKUSER_START variable and you did not fill it in the proper way, chkuser will accept any e-mail. Tonino Tonino Tonino Jimmy
