Looks like someone (probably a spammer) has been trying to send mail
to accounts they *think* might connect to people (info@, home@, guest@
etc) James is replying automatically to say "they don't live here".
You might want to switch that off, otherwise its all legitimate,
perhaps a bit scary the first time! Someone tried to send mail to an
address that didn't exist is all.

Hi,
A few days ago James was getting blocked up. I
noticed a lot of mail that I was not sending in the
outgoing/ directory.
My James password was 8 characters all text, and I
just changed it to make it more secure.
I changed the password on my James POP3 account (I'm
the only user).
Does anyone know of any other way to get mail into the
outgoing directory?
Does James have any type of password encryption
mechanism. Right now the password is in cleartext in
the config file.
I suppose I could create a checksum and just cut and
paste whenever I telnet in, but hopefully there's a
more ideal solution.
Thanks,

P.S.
Here's an example of the type of mail in my outgoing
folder in case anyone knows if there are helpful clues
in there:
