HI folks, Holiday greetings to you all. I have been receiving unsolicited e-mail to one of my virtual e-mail domain which does not exist. It looks like that somebody who used to own this domain(iant.com) had a user called "david" and this person put his email address to some big sales email lists companies ( I think its all of the lists in the world). And listed himself as "david@iant.com". We host the virtual site "www.iant.com" since the beginning of this year. Since I up the Virtual DNS before I had any user added for this organization, the emails for david@iant.com was hitting our server and keeping my server busy. Ofcourse I (the admin) gets the returned mail message from the sendmail. I ignored it for 3 months and thought that the email listing companies will take care of it when they get the message not sent to david@iant.com. But I see that it is increasing more and more everyday, about 10 to 15 messages sometimes. Actions that I took against it is 1) I tried to send warnig e-mail to the dns it was comming from.(did not work). I get returned mail from that. 2) I tried to creat the user and send the "unsubscribe messge to particular list" as david, as they curtiously suggest the serder to do so at the bottom of the email. It looks like that also does not work. I dont what to do now. Please help me. I know this is your holiday time so I can wait. Thank you in Advance.
