I am having a problem with qmail.
This is what is happening.
I don't have a box by the name of dbrooks@domain.com and every time a spammer sends mail to my domain and the box does not exist qmail sends back an e-mail telling the sender. and at times the sender is a bogus e-mail address and the mail is bounced back to me again and then sent from the daemon to the postmaster creating tons of queued mail.
help...here is a sample of an email......
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

Sorry, no mailbox here by that name.
