I am running a 5.5 server and I have tested for relay to make sure that I am
not an open relay. The problem I am having though is that when I look in my
Internet mail Service message queue under "outbound messages awaiting
delivery" I have messages in there where the Originator is "<>" and it is
getting to be around 500 messages a day. What is this? How can I avoid this
in the future? Any help greatly appreciated.
