Looping Emails

[vic102482]

Hello,

We are getting multiple emails from a user outside of our domain and it is really bombarding some users. Now I want to know if there is anything we can do about it?

We are getting multiple emails from him and it is the exact same message, even the message IDs are the same, the delivery times etc.etc are different however.

He also says that one of my users is sending him the same message over and over, and he is getting repeated messages from another non related user (a 3rd party) so it seems to be him.

Also is the "X-Lotus FromDomain" mean that they are on lotus notes ccmail or soemthing? I really would like to resolve this problem it is getting annoying, and its taking up traffic on the server. Its coming like once every 15 minutes to our distrobution list. Its a pretty big list, and everyone on it is gettign hit over and over again.

ALso the message is going to "Administrator" with the distro list in the CC feild. I KNOW for a fact this user doesnt have any idea what a flippin Administrator is lol.

Here is a bit of the header info edited of course

I left the IPs of what (I guess) are the relays:

can't you just ban the address in System Manager? Or block his ip?

cheers,

Yes, but this person is a legitimate emailer, and we need to recieve emails from him.

Well, you can either tell your users that are receiving these emails to suck it up and deal with receiving so many, or you can block them all until the sender figures out the problem and fixes it on their end.

You're receiving them only because they're sending them.

The X-Mailer value suggests this is a calendar/meeting request, is that correct? Check

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...us/wss/wss/_cdo_calendars_on_the_internet.asp

for more info on this. I suggest you ask the other company to check their free/busy connectors and calendaring options for the mailbox/public folder that is sending out the request. Until then (if you still want to receive mail from the company) you just have to deal with it or create a rule that moves all messages based on the subject are archived in one folder or mailbox. Good luck!

cheers,
hanz.
