Outgoing email not reaching destination

[Kevin Miller]

Those are outboune messages, not inbound, so you're not gonna see 'em.  In
about 5 days they'll end up in your postmaster account as undeliverable.
What's happening, I think, is you have your mail server set to reply to
spammers.  Many spammers use fake email addresses, so your mail server can't
deliver the messages that are autosent, because the server at the far end is
rejecting the connection.

It appears you're using webmin.  You can click on the messages and see what
they are - if they're all bounced spam, just delete 'em.  (Be careful not to
delete any legitimate messages!) Then set your configuration to not send
bounce notices to spammers.  Set your Spam Action (in MailScanner) so that
it doesn't include "Bounce" and you won't generate any more.  At least not
from bounced spam...
