Email guru required

Hope someone can help here?
I am receiving thousands of emails from one sender. We do not have Microsoft Exchange here, we download from our web server. Everytime we empty the server thousands more are replaced. I have been onto our ISP and they cannot assist. The company that sent the original mail say they only sent one and it is a company I know of.

I have sent an email "abuse@theredomain.com" in the hope it will bar future emails getting through.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to stop them?
Thanks

 

The easiest way is proberly blocking the emails at the server, by refusing to recieve mails from that specific sender.

However there are many different mail servers out there so you'd proberly need either the person who set it up to start with or someone else knowledgeable to take a look at it.

 

Yeah depends on the MTA you use. Your sys admin should know. All of them should have a function to deny emails, block them by from address though. Or set up an auto reply so they get their shit back.

 

Also if you have your email online somewhere use some kind of email cloaking device which stops bots picking up your email address.

 

Thanks guys...looks like I had to suffer the 30,000 or so emails to empty the server and now it seems to have left me alone - now Outlook 2002 is trying to send 500 emails during send and receive and I get a Norton message saying that the server does not recognise the sender. Nortons link is no good as it asks you to turn off outgoing email checker which I already have turned off????

There are no items sitting in 'outbox' or any extra 'sent' items - they seem to be replying to the anti-spam with a 'not read' reply as I was dumping all the emails to a spam folder. They have all now been permanantly deleted.

I need to find a way to stop Outlook trying to send - I can send emails normally now.

Outlook Express is fine and dandy so presume Outlook/Norton has got itself in a muddle!?!?

 

You cannot stop him, i think the mail would be fake!
For example it's very simple for spmamer send an mail for you with mailer !
