Dear All.

For past few days, my MX receive thousand of undeliverable message
destinated for my non existent user at my domain.
This message source come from valid and well configured (almost) smtp
server on internet.
I'ts waste my internet b/w, cause my MX will reject with non existent
user message.
I'll try spamd on my firewall and greylist on my MX (postfix), but
still
no effective, and i cannot block undeliverable
message as RFC rules

Is there any way i can fix this ?
Please help

I use the virtusertable in sendmail, and I have my valid addresses,
such as bv@xxxxxxx bv and then for after that is
a line of @wjv.com nouser.

And nouser is defined in aliases as nouser: /dev/null

On one of the mail servers I maintain I just checked and I
had 260,000+ messages routed to "*file*" in the maillog - which
shows up as mailer=*file* in the logs. That maillog rotates
every night at midnight.

Is not really a freebsd-net problem so I removed that from the
reply to line.

Thanks  for response...

but this virtusertable will not stop SMTP server in internet to keep
send you undeliverable message.
I assume someone doing nasty with forged and use my domain email to send
his spam message to non existing user.
and i got undeliverable message.
Is there any clue ??
Oh.. i forget to mention i use 4.11-STABLE for my MX
