http://www.MSExchange.org/


Hello All,

 

I've been suffering a DHA for the last two weeks. Nothing major, just a couple 
of e-mails per minute, but it is clogging my spam box with all kinds of invalid 
addresses.

 

I've disabled NDR´s so the dude who's sending these things won't be able to 
know which e-mails are valid or not.

 

I´ve tracked these messages and they appear to be coming from all over the 
place. How can I fight it? Disabling NDR´s is not a cool solution because 
people can´t know if a message was delivered here.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Tiago
