Hi to all, today something weird happened. My server received a message to a non existing mailbox and subdomain. Here are the loglines (i removed the domain names to the original recipient): ---SNIP--- Feb 5 05:18:13 webbox444 postfix/smtpd[12146]: D9568540386: client=ppp-61-90-87-109.revip.asianet.co.th[61.90.87.109] Feb 5 05:18:15 webbox444 postfix/cleanup[7937]: D9568540386: message-id=<000901caa61a$38dfc4f0$00426...@sdggtssthg> Feb 5 05:18:15 webbox444 postfix/qmgr[15032]: D9568540386: from=<gqpnhkmvbnk...@stainedglass.co.uk>, size=807, nrcpt=2 (queue active) Feb 5 05:18:15 webbox444 postfix/smtp[10656]: D9568540386: to=<zirkel.in...@removed>, relay=none, delay=2.2, delays=2.2/0/0/0, dsn=5.4.6, status=bounced (mail for REMOVED loops back to myself) Feb 5 05:18:20 webbox444 postfix/smtp[10650]: D9568540386: to=<kanister.sogenann...@stoxx.orkanspaltung.de>, relay=mx.selfip.biz[217.11.54.110]:25, delay=6.7, delays=2.2/0/3.4/1, dsn=5.7.1, status=bounced (host mx.selfip.biz[217.11.54.110] said: 554 5.7.1 The recipient definitively does not want your mail.

The sending host 61-90-87-109.revip.asianet.co.th has no authentication on my box (neither sasl nor pop-before-smtp). Ok, the mail has been bounced to this non existing sender and all, but postfix has done another action, and that's the weird part. Another mail has been forwarded tokanister.sogenann...@stoxx.orkanspaltung.de (received by mx.selfip.biz), which is not on my box, and is a spamtrap, and this caused an instant blacklisting *sigh*. Here is the header from the mail received by mx.selfip.biz: Return-Path: <gqpnhkmvbnk...@stainedglass.co.uk> X-Original-To: kanister.sogenann...@spamtrap.invalid Received: from REMOVED(myserver!)

Why did postfix forward the mail without any authentication to a foreign host? I don't get it. Thanks. Andreas
