Help!
I am getting TONS of delivery failure notices of different kinds from random
(mostly overseas) emails accounts.

These apparently were sent from (e-mail address removed) where xxx is random
emailnames and then attached to my domain.

I can not disable the "catchall" feature of my server, as I do use alot of
different account names for my normal emails.
What is going on?
How can I "trap" all of these bogus email?
How can I stop this from occuring.
I do not see any outgoing messages to these addresses in my sent folder

I have OL 2007 and Mcafee

Thanks
 
Probably someone with a worm/virus/whatever or spammer is using your domain
name as part of a phony return address. Not sure if there's much you can do
to filter them out
 
how many aliases do you use? if you know all of them, create a rule is move
them to the inbox or another folder and discard all the others. if this is
not possible because you have too many or can't recall all the aliases, try
a filter on words in the subject and add an exception if its from one your
sending addresses.
