Greetings

i have a user who is getting a ton of postmaster bounces. who or what ever is spamming is using her address as the return reply, so all the bounces and postmaster warnings are coming back to her and filling up her account.

how can I alleviate this? I can't seem to get a handle on where it's coming from.

Have you read BACKSCATTER_README yet? If not, I'd recommend it, it has some pointers on where to start. Run the command "postconf readme_directory" to find the directory that is supposed to contain said document on your system.

greetings and thanks for the reply.
yes, I read the http://www.postfix.org/BACKSCATTER_README.html

and it looks like this is just what I need. before I place a header or body check i want to make sure i'm blocking it correctly.


are the sample body checks going to wrk in my case ?

thanks
-jeff



here is a sample of the bounce: I have modified the real users name.
