Hi everyone,
Yesterday morning I came into work only to find 5000+ NDRs sitting in my inbox since Friday.

Since then all day today all I've got for the past 24 hours is at least 1 email a second from either System Administrator or an external server telling me that the emails are undeliverable. To say I'm tired of deleting them is an understatement!

An example of the emails I'm getting:

Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

Subject: Viagra 100mg x 60 pills US $ 2.17 Per Pill buy now
Sent: 10/12/2007 15:12

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

cv1wzc2@colt.net on 10/12/2007 15:09
The e-mail system was unable to deliver the message, but did not report a specific reason. Check the address and try again. If it still fails, contact your system administrator.

Obviously it is all spam.
Any ideas how I can stop it? I've tried everything I could think of, including disabling NDRs but they still keep coming!

Many thanks,

Conrad
 
my guess is someone else is using your return address when they are sending spam out.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
