Hi
I am probably deleting the bounce.
I'm not sure how to delete the original message or how to find it.
I can't tell them to stop sending since its from user unknown.
The FROM address is "<>" so what I think is happening is that the
message is sent from the mail server to the relevant server, but the
user does not exist so message is sent back to mail server, but
without a from address the message can't be sent bak to original
sender so its sent back to the server where the user does not exist
hence the loop.
I was hoping to write a filter to either kill all mail with the FROM
address "<>" or recipient being tanjas20@???.
otor anything to stop it before my server crashes.
Thanks for the help
Cheers
