lame server resolving ?

[brinkhost]

Hi

i'm new at posting here but have found a lot of answers to questions i had.. Thumbs up for this great resource!

There's one problem though that is bothering me big time. One of my resellers was having a domain name that was beeing abused by a spammer as a "return address" or perhaps mail send through a form, i don't know. Upon my request he removed the site completely (deleted the domain).

Since that time i find the following lines (thousands of them per day!) in the messages.log. To protect his privacy and becuase he's also a reseller i replaced the domain name he has with "website.net" (i hope that's okay..)

Has anyone got any suggestions how to stop this? Did he perhaps not remove the domain name correctly?

I noticed the same error on an other server i have running, but less frequently and it is related to a domain name i never have had hosted on it (but on an older one i did host it under the same name server). In this case, it doesn't generate errors about the email records.

Any help would be appreciated. I couldn't find anything about this on this forum.

okay - thanks. But isn't that sort of "switching off the control light"?

Of course.

Why is it happening? Are there still emails in your outgoing queue trying to be returned to this domain?

If not, then just don't worry about it.
