Hi everyone,

I'm running a single exchange 2000 server for my employer and over the past
few hours we have been getting a message from inet@microsoft.com which is
not actually directed at any one in the company. I'm sure it's not coming from
Microsoft at all, but I am receiving a new one to the queue every 10 seconds
or
so. I would prefer to just block the address from having anything queue on the
server but cannot work out how to do this or setup a rule so that the mail
falls
into the same black hole I have setup for any NDR's that come in.

Any ideas would be most appreciated, as the queue is currently at 575
messages and climbing every second.
