[Resolved] possable new postfix delivered-to header exploit in debian

[Wulfman]

Today as i opened my mail i was flooded with Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender emails about 3000 of them.

I read a post here from someone back a few years ago about an exploit that sounds like what i am getting now.

Now i ran a open relay check on my server and it passed clean.

here is a returned email from a random server

as you can see NS29.NAXZA.com [61.19.251.188] is not my ip address

I added the fix that was in the older post but i do not think it has taken care of the problem

I can not find this problem anywhere. After looking in the mail logs my server is being hit hard with these

bounce attempts with the forged headers

I am using the latest version of postfix from debian which is not the latest from postfix

postfix mail_version = 2.9.6

i just upgraded 3 days ago via an apt-get update and upgrade

maybe somebody can help me out on this one or has just started seeing this behavior on their server today

Use the force Wulfman open a SpamCop account and report it

They need to block port 25 outgoing

Looks like a DoS attack

Well i have 1000s of IPs like that in the mails causing my server to be blacklisted

Am i really sending these or is this phony and is my server just being blamed

I think it is the bounce problem but i am unsure

i realize that i will get blocked if my server is sending these but am i really sending them

I have stopped my mail server till i can resolve this

I am looking at some kind of anti bounce but not sure how to go about it

this seems to be a new exploit for this version of postfix as i have never had this issue before
