I'm getting a BUNCH of bounces where someone has used a return address that returns to me. This address is commonly used by spammers (it's an invalid address here, but I get all the mail with invalid usernames). The mail is promoting onlineclicks.biz . With all the bounces, I'd hate to think how many pieces of this spam are actually getting through. Amazingly I have not yet received angry mail from a recipient.
So, what can I do about this spam technique? Anything?
Simply configure your MTA such that it will not accept mail to non-valid users. Both the two MTAs that I know and work with, Exim 4 and Postfix 2, are easy to configure to do this, and folk say that Sendmail is too.
I'm refusing a lot of mail addressed to invalid users and have avoided "polite" Joe jobs with this configuration.
