Hi,

A couple a days ago we (and our customers) started to receive spam emails on the SERVERS HOSTNAME.

The mails are sent to random names on @server.hostname.com

Does anyone how this is even possible to send mail on hostname? And better: How can we disable this?

You can stop it by either removing "hostname.server.com" from /etc/virtual/domains

or

in /etc/virtual/hostname.server.com/aliases put
"*: :fail:" or "*: :blackhole:" without the "

Hiya,

you can always take out the localuser: section from the directors configuration. That would also stop the admin accounts getting mail though.. or just take out $primary_hostname in the localuser: part.
