That mail log looks more like your SMTP daemon is sending rejection notices (see the "from=<>") to a few machines that don't have a listening SMTP service. This isn't uncommon these days as most of the envelope senders are spoofed, and sending to non-existent recipients. You mail server dutifully tries to inform the sender ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) that [EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't exist. But, static175-58.powerdsl.com.au isn't listening to your SMTP request. This simply means the dud non-delivery messages your server is trying to send will sit in your queue until they time out (4 days usually) and then [EMAIL PROTECTED] will be told it couldn't deliver a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

At least, that's what it looks like. What do the queue files in the mail queue tell you?

Cheers,

James
