That's the story. One domain here is bulletin.net which just happens to be one of the pseudo-random domains generated by one particular worm that came out in 2003 (IIRC). Ever since its release, we've received bounces from the worm recipient server; currently averaging 50,000 attempted deliveries per day. All are rejected immediately using postfix with local (virtual_pcre) recipient map. Interestingly, I added an SPF record on 7 Jan 2005. In the week prior the daily average was 57k, in the three weeks since the average has been 46k. Figures may be distorted by the holiday season though.. Zach. Simon Blake wrote:

Has anyone seen something similar? Did you manage to locate a better solution? I can't say I've enjoyed the last couple of days one bit!
