Anyone Familiar Wth Qmail, Possibly The Biggest Email Program?

[John_Betong]

Hi All,

One of my email accounts was transferred about a fortnight ago to a dedicated server complete with its own IP address. Is that the correct terminology? I think this is a similar setup to Thaivisa's new server.

Basically the problem is that 27 people are receiving junk email which is addressed to other valid email addresses. This problem is currently just annoying but I am also concerned that it may develop into incorrect receipt of email which is not junk.

The hardware server company's help is virtually non-existent I think the reason is because it is a software problem.

I have looked on the http://qmail.org/top.html home page and followed numerous links to no avail. I have also unsuccessfully 'Googled' for a solution.

I was hoping that someone on Thaivisa has experience of a similar Qmail problem and can point me in the right direction with links to relevant bulletin boards or helpful advice, etc

Cheers,

John_Betong

Most likely the email is sent to one recipient with multiple BCC recipients.

Spammers often group multiple email addresses from the same domain this way, so while the message is going to the valid recipient thats visible in the TO: field others on the same domain may get the email too if they are on the list.

Hi Orion76,

Many thanks for your suggestion and I agree that it is a distinct possibility and assume that it is not a possible incorrect setting on the software setup.

By the way, my email address is [email protected]. I tried sending an email to [email protected] and it was bounced back because of an incorrect email address.
