I don't have any user named 'admin' ...
I did try the router setting that you've suggested, but it didn't trash the incoming messages.
What exactly (sorry, I'm just a hobbyist) do you mean by "Put this above the line that maps <admin> to the real user account and don't forget to enable 'Verify Return-Paths'"?
Cheers

An email from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> has been delivered to one of my users - well several emails from this name. Though the message originates from outside my LAN, it is being delivered to my user. I do not have a real user account in the name of 'admin'.
There must be some router entry that maps <admin> to a real user account then?
Can I use the router to route any msg from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to 'error'? In other words, if any email comes to SIMS from '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' I want to kill the email without it being delivered to any user.
Given that you don't have an account named 'admin', and assuming that <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is the Return-Path (not just the From) of the spam messages try:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> = error
Put this above the line that maps <admin> to the real user account and don't forget to enable 'Verify Return-Paths'.
