SPAM!!
Hi,

My problem is when someone sends SPAM to a user that doesn't exist in the database and has a non valid e-mail address! What happens is that GM sends a bounced message back to the sender and then that server sends a message back to the admin e-mail of GM. So, I am now receiving 10 bounced messages a day right in my inbox!!!!

Is this the way it should be!! There must be a better solution!

Thanks

You can just turn the bounce off in the admin under the "undeliverables" functions. That way the messages will just be deleted and you can forget about them. Of course it means the sender won't know the adderss doesn't exist, but if it's spam it really doesn't matter.

go to.. admin > setup > undeliverables
