    Default Deliver Failure Deluge

    I am receiving a vast number of delivery failure notices on one of my domains. Someone (NOT ME!!!) is using fake addresses at my domain as reply addresses for spam. Anyone know how I can stop this?

    In the meantime, I'm trying to send all the delivery failures into a black hole. I tried to get webmail server rules to reject mail not addressed to any one of a defined set of addresses at my domain, but they all get delivered to me just the same. The server rules documentation seems a bit terse. Is there something more in the way of a tutorial anywhere?

    Thanks!

    The server rules only apply to the email address of the POP3 account you creating/manging them on - they are not global and do not apply to all incoming mail; even if the mail message ends up in your mailbox after final routing.

    OK. I guess I can zap 'em with client rules?
