Hi,
being searching around the archives for sometime, cant seem to find an
answer so here goes-
Im getting around 40 emails an hour sent to the administrator email from the
'Mail Delivery Subsystem'. They are all telling me that 'the following
addresses had permanent fatal errors' . The failed emails are all junk mail,
things such as 'you have won....' and 'GREAT BUSINESS OPPURTUNITY...'.
Im guessing that these emails a being sent through the server because of my
relaying settings (basically allowing anything, so set up because users on
the server wanted to be able to freely email to any address).
Basically my question is have I guessed right, if not does anyone know whats
happening and either way can anyone tell me how to stop it.
Thanks in advance
