Hi all,

My Internet Mail Gateway Queue hast more than 47000 mails and i wand to know which user or user account was used to create these mails. Is this possoble?

Many thanks,
Hiob

It could be no fault from your users.
Scalix's MTA accepts every incoming message and only when it's in the queue it decides if the recipient exist or not. If the recipient does not exist then it delivers a non-delivery report message to the sender. Scalix's MTA does not reply with a 550 error for unknown addresses during the smtp session.
As spammers mostly send messages to any kind of address inside a domain it always happens that your scalix server tries to contact senders (in 99.9% of cases with non luck) to say that mailbox does not exist.

I'd suggest you the reading of this thread

Hi,

Problem is, that all messages has a recipient outside of my domain. So it is no local user. But after deleting all messages, the queue remains empty and no new spam mails are queued.

Many thanks,
Hiob
