These bounced messages were NOT sent by my system, because there is no user account by that name (it is an incoming forward to the account I am using to send this message). I believe that these messages are spam with a forged header. I am afraid that my system will be black-holed by someone who thinks I really did originate the messages. What can I do? ------------------------------------------------------------------- Orville R.
