2000 NDR records!! 3

[rotters]

for one day this week, one of my users had over 2000 NDR records for email she never sent. Why? How can I stop it? Has someone hacked her user id?

reverse NDR attack. Someone forges the sender address, sends a buch of SPAM, and all the NDRs go to the forged sender. There's not much you can do other than drop them at the SPAM filter.

I've heard some spam even comes as a NDR...

you're not alone, over the past month, I bet we've had a dozen users in our company get slammed. It's only for one day though, actually more like a 5-8 hour period, and the ndr's stop.

It's a pain, but like xmsre said, really nothing you can do other than explain it over and over again to the user of the day it's affecting. Eventually, ISP's will probably get caught up on this new ndr spam craze and will find a way to put a good dent in it.

friggin spammers anyway..

Thanks. I thought there is something I could do. Thanks to all of you.
