Temat: [Exim] Huge amount of mail rejects -- what to do
One of the domains on my server are being bombed by mail. These appear
to be rejected mail ostensibly from the local user, but are not. There
is a new rejection message every 5 seconds! Many have a return path of
<>. My user runs OSX so hopefully is not suffering from a virus.

All mail pointed at his domain currently goes to his main account ("mainuser")
if it does not go to user1 or user2.

User mbox file config for this domain is like this:

  file = ${if match {$original_local_part} {user1}\
         {/home/example/Mail/user1}\
         {\
                ${if match {$original_local_part} {2}\
                {/home/example/Mail/user2}\
                {/home/example/Mail/mainuser}}\
         }}
