Notes spam

Ok here is the deal.

I have a domino serve with notes clients.  I am starting to get spam and a great deal of dead mail messages that are not from our users.  I tried without success to reject domains via SMTP_DENIED_DOMAIN in the Notes ini.  I think I need to do this via a domain documment.  I want to eliminate and dead mail.  Can someone tell exactly ho to do this.  Notes is basically new to me so i really don't have too much knowledge to go on.  Thanks in advance.

It sounds like an external company is trying to relay junk mail through your server. This happens frequently when companies are trying to mask the origin of their mail.

You must try and rectify this quickly as there are a number of server relay blacklists that you may get added to which will prevent you sending mail to servers that reference this list.

These Notes.ini settings will only work in 4.6.2 and above however..

SMTP_OCH_REJECT_SMTP_ORIGINATED_MESSAGES=1
SMTPMTA_REJECT_RELAYS=1

It's time to clean up this topic area and that means taking care of this question. Your options at this point are:

1. Award points to the Expert who provided an answer, or who helped you most. Do this by clicking on the "Accept Comment as Answer" button that lies above and to the right of the appropriate expert's name.

2. PAQ the question because the information might be useful to others, but was not useful to you. To use this option, you must state why the question is no longer useful to you, and the experts need to let me know if they feel that you're being unfair.

3. Delete the question because it is of no value to you or to anyone else.  To use this option, you must state why the question is no longer useful to you, and the experts need to let me know if they feel that you're being unfair.

If you elect for option 2 or 3, all you need to do is post right here as a comment, and I will take care of the rest.  We also request that you review any other open questions you might have and deal with them as necessary.

PLEASE DO NOT AWARD THE POINTS TO ME.

Hi Experts:

In the event that the Asker does not respond, I would very much appreciate your opinions as to which Expert ought to receive points (if any) as a result of this question.  Likewise, you can also suggest that I PAQ or delete the question.

Experts, please do not add further "answer" information to this question.  I will be back in about one week to finalize this question.

Thank you everyone.
