Do you have an auto-responder, or anti-virus program, that sends emails to forged From: addresses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazoo Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 If you've been doing some research and have found the data on the 'evidence" page, did you take the time to go through the Pinned item at http://forum.spamcop.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=972 ??

bluedan Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 yes, our exchange server will auto reponse to the sender if the email address sender sent was invalid. What if the Original sender used a forged From: addresses? What will happen if our exhcange server auto reponse to that message? What will the message go? Will they go to spam traps? Also, does anyone know how to turn the auto reponse off in the exchange server if the recipient name is not recognized?? Note all our outgoing email is redirect to 204.128.226.68 server. Thank you so much again for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedan Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 Hi Wazoo, Yes, I actually did read the FAQ page but still was not able to resolve the problem Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dra007 Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Most if not all spams use forged addresses in the "From:" line. They forge them from the same lists of users they send spam to. So bouncing you are very likely to hit and upset a lot of innocent people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralsky's Fatal Tumor Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 so will these return messages go to the spamtraps? Exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazoo Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 so will these return messages go the spamtraps? They can, and they do. Spamtrap addresses are not used, normally not that easily guessed, generally made available on web pages where only some lowlife running some scavenging software would nomally come up with one of them. Though there are suspicions at times that perhaps these addresses aren't as "rare" as hoped, there is another train of thought that some spammers intentionally search out these addresses and include them in their spew with the intent as you've ended up in ... e-mail being blocked and a definite attitude about SpamCop and those that use its various tools and BL.

turetzsr Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Hi, bluedan! <snip> Also, does anyone know how to turn the auto reponse off in the exchange server if the recipient name is not recognized?? <snip> ...That you asked this question causes me great concern that the mail system you support is likely to have many opportunities for improved efficiencies and practices that can be improved. I would strongly urge you to contract with a knowledgeable consultant who knows MS Exchange well and can guide you in implementing best practices for administering your mail system. Alternatively (or in addition), professional training in MS Exchange and your Server Operating System would be a wise move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazoo Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Just a quick Google, I'm sure that someone allegedly versed and paid for maintaining your Exchange server should have access to more specific information, but .. here's a start point; http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechn...n/11x2kada.mspx http://www.langa.com/newsletters/2003/2003-09-18.htm http://www.mapilab.com/articles/ndr_spam_attack.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek T Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Also, does anyone know how to turn the auto reponse off in the exchange server if the recipient name is not recognized?? Download and burn ISOs of Mandrake 10 or Fedora Core or almost any other linux distro. Put in CD-ROM, restart machine and anwer 'yes' to 'Delete all winows partitions?'

bluedan Posted June 3, 2004 Author Share Posted June 3, 2004 Hi All, Thank you so much for all of your helps. spamcop deputies just delist our IP for this one time. I am looking at the information Wazoo post to see how to disable the auto reponse from our mail server. Many thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlyn Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Ellen might have delisted you but if this is a mail server many ISP's will not accept mail from this server because it has no reverse DNS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
