How to stop MailScanner reports?


Hello,

Lately I've been bombed by an outside domain which is sending loads of spam to a subdomain on my site that doesn't exist. MailScanner catches that the messages are bunk, but rather than just delete them, it sends my root account a message saying that it caught a bad message. By bad, I mean that it tries to send to foobar.mydomain.net, when there is no foobar subdomain on my server.

I've been getting literally thousands of these emails from MailScanner every few days. And i'm fed up with having to clean it up. I've searched on MailScanner's site, the MailScanner.conf, and still they're coming.

Does anyone know how to turn this off?

Thank you
