Returned emails

[phppete]

I have just started receiving lots of returned/failed emails, obviously someone forging my domain as their from/return path. Is there anything I can do about this?

I have just disabled Catch-All on my domain, anything else I can do?

I have just disabled Catch-All on my domain, anything else I can do? No, that's about as much as you can do really.

As long as there's no way, that's universally accepted, to prevent spammers from forging domain names, disabling your catch-all and sitting it out is pretty much all you can do. :sad:

Hi Arthur.

Thanks for the reply. I am still getting mail at webmaster@.... even though catch all is disabled and I have no aliases or mail box named webmaster, or is webmaster handled like the default account name such as codecreate@... ?

Thanks

Pete

webmaster is one of the default accounts auto-forwarded to the main account's email. You can always set it up as blackhole.

Thanks for the info, I guessed it may be that but wasn't sure.

Pete,
