I am receiving spam addressed to a particular non-existent user on my own
account (not a postmaster account), which is at the same domain as the
non-existent user. The catch-all setting for the domain is "bounced".
How can this happen?
Here is an example header, to clarify. Since I am not suspecting that
DNS-resolving issues are involved, I have changed the domain name to
"example":
> Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
> Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
> Received: (qmail 43200 invoked from network); 6 Oct 2003 21:52:43 -0000
> Received: from unknown (HELO 24.153.97.91) (24.153.97.91)
> by vps.breathsense.com with SMTP; 6 Oct 2003 21:52:43 -0000
> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

"faith" is neither an account nor a forward for the domain in question, and
so should bounce. If I send to that address, either locally or via another
SMTP it bounces.
So how can a message "To" that address end up "Delivered-To" me?
I am using:
vpopmail 5.3.12
qmail 1.03
qmailadmin 1.0.6
Thanks for any help.
