I have just set up a web server using mailenable for pop and smtp. I have noticed a large amount of mail in the bad mail folder which looks like spam being sent from postmaster@mydomain.com What is bad mail? Can anybody let me know exactly what is happening? Cheers for your help. Tom
Hello, Bad mails are those email that could not be delivered to the destination SMTP server. If those mails are sent from the postmaster account, they are most probably non-delivery-notifications. This is often caused by your SMTP server accepting emails to non-existent recipients. Because spam-emails often have their from: addresses faked, your SMTP server cannot deliver the non-delivery-reports.
