    hi, not sure if this has anything to do with ISPconfig but, I don't have any catchalls in place but I'm still getting spam mail in my root that is originally addressed to a bogus address. i.e. [email protected]. I don't have an [email protected]. Could anyone help explain? Thanks!

    Is a catchall for mydomain.com listed in /etc/postfix/virtusertable ?

    Nope. Just my regular ole email addresses. no catchalls.

    I've been noticing a bunch of junk in my root mail so I started sending it to a different user so I could view it in a mail client and see what's what.

    under aliases I set root to send to web11_daisy so I could get a better look at it.

    i start really looking at this spam mail and it's being sent to [email protected]. I have 8 domains and it's getting sent to all of them. [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]. it's all being sent to root.

    I pulled this from the end of root's mail. Ignore the cron job thingy.

    What's in /etc/postfix/virtusertable, /etc/aliases, and /etc/postfix/main.cf?

    There is nothing with the word info in virtusertable
    Code:
    info:           postmaster
    Is this the one that's causing all the problems? What about all this other crap like NOC and whatnot?
    Code:
    # Basic system aliases -- these MUST be present.
    mailer-daemon:  postmaster
    postmaster:     root

    Yes. Do you have a user called info in /etc/passwd? If so, delete it with the userdel command and remove the info line from /etc/aliases. Run
    Code:
    newaliases
    afterwards and restart Postfix.
