Bounces and/or return receipts. If they get stuck in the queue, they are probably aimed at bogus addresses. Any mail generated by an MTA itself will have an empty sender, as specified in RFC821 and its successors. >and how can I stop it? That depends on exactly what they are. You can end up with a lot of undeliverable bounces if you are being used as a spam relay. It can also be seen on a machine that forwards a lot of mail to other places. The most common root cause of an undeliverable bounce (which is just about everything you will see stuck in the Queue from NULL@NULL ) is spam aimed at a bogus address anf from a bogus address. reducing how much of these you handle (for example, by using the Verify Return Paths option) will reduce how many of those bounces you generate. -- Bill Cole [EMAIL PROTECTED] ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
