I have a linux box which works as an smtp server. Past few months I am facing a problem, all the mails which my local lan users send to the outside world, all such mail gets bounced to root’s mailbox. Also I have found that the mails which get bounced to the root’s mailbox are mostly undelivered mails due to some reason.
I don’t know why it doesn’t go directly to the sender.
The kind of mails the root’s mailbox receive is huge. Off which some are genuine.
Please let me know what are the configuration changes I need to do to resolve this problem.
Do you have a spamassasin or something like this installed? If so, check if the destination of the bad messages isn't the root@localhost and also check if your domain wasn't marked as spam...
Could be usefull also to check /var/log for your smtp daemon potential errors or misconfiguration...
