"If they are truly sent from <> (a.k.a. MAILER-DAEMON:-), the Watermark feature of a fairly recent MailScanner can help a bit, or perhaps milter-null.
If they're not really DSNs, only pretending... other measures are what you need."

I tried the watermark feature but it stil causes problems for a few users. This morning one had about 120 of these failure notice mail in here inbox. When I look at same person but some days before it is okay not many as this night. 

When I look in mailwatch a lot of these "failure notice spam" has passed through "SpamAssassin Autolearn"

I have seen this problem coming more and more the last couple of weeks.

Anyone got anymore tip how to stop them?

Rob.

If they are truly sent from <> (a.k.a. MAILER-DAEMON:-), the Watermark feature of a fairly recent MailScanner can help a bit, or perhaps milter-null.
If they're not really DSNs, only pretending... other measures are what you need.
