[cobalt-users] Spammers forging my email address - Urgent



As of this morning I am getting about 300 emails an hour to a particular
email address.  It seems someone forged my email address and sent out bulk
email to a large list of recipients.  Since some of the addresses or domains
are invalid I am getting bounced email and automated messages from mail
servers (undelivered mail notices and delivery failures).

They are being delivered to (and forged sent from) an email address I use
and cannot block.  I'd like to stop the email from coming into my server,
track down the spammer, or at least filter the email to a junk folder using
procmail until I figure out what to do.  Help!

Also, is there a way to setup a catch-all email account, yet somehow block
specific email addresses?  Right now I have a catch-all email account setup
on the domain b/c there are dozens of email addresses used on the domain
that are routed to the proper mailbox, folder, etc. using procmail.

I am going to research what else I can do, but I figured I would start here.
