I am a reseller. My client is getting floods of MAILER-DAEMON@@ failure notices. Please help me stop them.
Note… this is not just a question of why the email is bouncing… pretty obviously the result of RELENTLESS spoofing. These are not referencing messages that the client is actually sending (that we know of), and all of the failure/bounce messages are related to the same attempted recipient... for here I call it [email protected] which is NOT a recipient known to my client.
He has received HUNDREDS of the bounce messages over the last couple weeks, and I cannot find a way to stop or block them.
Failure notice with full headers below…. (i replaced the real addresses with "[email protected]" and "outsidedomain.com")
