In the example give, [EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't exist on my system. That's the "bogus" address that was in the message that was bounced back. I don't have a clue where that address came from or where the ip address it was sent to came from. Also, in searching the qmail logs, I can find no actual proof that my system ever tried to deliver a message to that user or that ip address.

The original message was only sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] and both of those messages arrived correctly and without error.

However, shortly after the message was sent to those users, this bounce came back.

Thanks, Gary

Does the message look like something you sent to some other address, or a
mailing list?  If so, you could be getting the non-delivery notice because
the message was forwarded to a bad address.

If you look at the bottom Received line, it would appear that
[EMAIL PROTECTED] connected from IP xx.xxx.xxx.xx with SMTP authentication
in order to send the email.

Does [EMAIL PROTECTED] have a simple password?  Where is the IP address that
made the connection?  Could a spammer be relaying mail through your server
by guessing the account password?
