Send them this link. It is a new type of spam and it is called backscatter.
The guys at Postini will wise up when they learn what the problem is. We
have been seeing more and more of this every day for the last week.

Subject: [Vantage] [OT] Huge influx of NDR spam through Postini



I know a lot of you use Postini for mail filtering. After various other
ventures, I have been using and loving it for a few years now. Lately,
I have been experiencing a huge influx of NDR type spam making its way
through to our users. Has anybody else experienced this? If so, what
are you doing.

First our Postini VAR was denying it as spam and having me check our
Relays (Exchange 101 stuff). The only other thing they have told me was
to create a sub organization and filter on NDR type subjects.

This approach doesn't make sense to me as this is blatant spam which I
expect should be picked up by Postini.

Thanks for any input,
