Our administrator boxes get flooded with emails from spammers who are
still sending massive emails to address that do not exist. Of course
sendmail sends a response back to the from header saying the account
dosen't exist. However, the sendmail server is getting those responses
bounced back to them because these are junk emails with no real return
address. As a result the undeliverable mail gets sent to "postmaster".
Thus the "postmaster" email is a hoard mess of junk email bounced replies.
How is being handled ?
