I don't think this is necessarily the best fit category to post this
but it does fit and I know you guys would be most knowledgeable about
this.
I changed hosts last night for my website and domain email.
I was with IPower and now I'm with Grabweb.
I'm very happy with the service, Plesk control panel, and latency of
the website but I'm a little alerted by the mail server.
What I did is create one account ****@abc.com and enabled catchall.
Before this I had about 50 accounts at IPower and catchall also
enabled. I set an autoreply on the new server to let clients know of
the temporary changeover in case any problems would arise.
For my desktop I use a linux distro and Thunderbird for my mail client.
In my inbox today was about 14 bounced emails coming from ****@abc.com
(the one email account I have set up). The message that bounced back
was my autoreply message and an error message saying it couldn't be
delivered. I'm guessing this is happening because I'm receiving spam
and then my autoreply is going out to the forged address and bouncing
back. The only weird thing is that I'm not getting any spam emails
into my inbox and I have all spam filters turned off for the server.
Ever since switching I'm also getting spam directed at wild-card
guesses like
(E-Mail Removed)... strange that I never received ANY spam like
this at IPower even though I always have had catchall enabled.
Any ideas?
