Re: tons of NDR messages


Lanwench,

There must be some way to prevent these messages coming to users. It is
annoying for the users and I am not sure why there is no solution. If there
is please let me know

I presume these are NDRs to messages nobody in your organization sent,
right? Sounds like your users are the victim of spoofing. These NDRs are
legit (even if the original message that caused them wasn't) - so there's no
reason for your spam filter to catch them. This happens to all of us and we
just learn to delete the NDRs. You can google for 'backscatter' if you want
more info.
