Re: message queue

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

These messages are originating from my mail server with a sender's address
(outside my domain) that looks really bogus. Is there any way I can filter
these? I have a bogus recipient email address that can be used in the filter.

- You could look at headers in those messages to determine the source. Are
these originating from outside?

I've been monitoring my Exchange 2007 message queue and noticed that there
are a bunch of emails that are undeliverable because the recipient's email
address doesn't exists. Most of these undeliverable emails are going to
the
same recipient and without a sender address. I suspect my server is being
used as a relay or there's a virus somewhere. My question is, how can I
filter the queue so my server doesn't have to bother sending out these
bogus
email.

Thank you in advance.
