Hello

EDIT: exim version is 4.86.
I also have easy spam block and CSF installed and working.

I am having a problem finding out to stop this local mail spam relay.

I tested the server IP, and it is not a open relay.

The domain that is sending emails / or using it as a relay, does not even have email (mx) on this server. They use a exchange server.
So external email configuration.

The server is receiving all these emails that are being relayd to incorrect email account from account that do not exist.
The aco**** in question does not seam to be sending emails according to DA... perhaps a relay is not counted ?

Here is a sample of a header :

I suppose the emails content is not important.

Then, here is the log for that same email :

Then, i am also receing tones of emails with this sibject : Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender
Here is the header for that error return email :

The emails i am receiving from CSF are wth this subject : lfd on server.goeticweb.com: RELAY Alert for 204.45.30.196 (US/United States/is.not.okay.to.strangled.net)


The question is : could someone help me out with understanding where the email originate from and why it's getting onto my server ?

Could it be a "maleware" on someone's computer that has say outlook configured with that domain (acr-regulation.com) ?
But because my server does not "serv" email for that domain ... i dont understand.

Any would be appreciated.

I'm guessing it's just incoming spam which isn't being recognized as such by the filters. I tested that IP the spam comes from, it's listed on the Barracuda list which isn't an included RBL on DA by default.

So you could add barracuda rbl, but since it's just one case (I assume) I'd just block that IP address in CSF and see if that's the end of it.
 
There is not only one IP, that's just a example.
That's what i am doing at the moment, blocking the ip's as they show up.
Thx :)
