annie Posted May 14, 2004 Posted May 14, 2004 I've got numerous retired addresses on my domain that I use forwarders on to bounce: :fail: 550 5.1.1 ... User unknown. But something happens when an e-mail is sent to several addresses. I had one address that I had two forwarders on. One to fail, and another to an outside e-mail address. That worked occasionally only. But what's interesting is that I would get a bounce if I sent an e-mail to one of these addresses, but not if I send an e-mail to one failed address and CC to another. Is that intended behavior? My spam suddenly dropped so dramatically, I've been trying to figure out why. These tests is the closest I've come to an answer. Many spammers have used several retired addresses in each spam. My old host didn't have a real 550 server response, so the spammers probably thought they were still active. So, anyone with an answer?
