Fail Message is Fail Messages for Fail Messages that I NeverFailedto Send???

And adding to Lisa's responses, you may need some header evidence to get your from/sending domain off the blacklists, if you've been added.  Otherwise, legitimate messages to/from you may get blocked.   :(

First, cheek your logs and see if your sending messages, or watch for SMTP
traffic.  You can also see if your on a black list.  If you are really
sending spam you should show up on a few within a couple of hours.

However, the more likely case is that the infected machine is not yours and
is using your address to forge the from header.  When the receiving server
fails to deliver it politely informs who it thinks to be the sender.  Some
servers are even kind enough to attach the original message so you can look
at the headers.

This really clubs me in the kneecaps with a concealed-sword cane.

Over the past two days, I have been getting these messages that would
suggest that I'm sending viagra spam to people and failing at it. I am
getting dozens of those qmail-send failmails. Some of them are in Spanish or
German. I have been just marking them as spam so I wouldn't see them but
THEY'RE JUST TOO MANY, CAPTAIN!!!

I've actually been thinking of writing a little script server-side to just
archive them and give them to me in a weekly digest, and during bad spells
like this I could just have it not send them at all.

If plug-discuss doesn't have a better solution, that is.

kthx
