Default "A configuration error in the e-mail system..."


Hi,

I received the same NDR but what worries me more is that I received 3
bounced emails as shown below but no one in our company sent these
emails as you can tell from the subject line that the email sent is
obviously spam.

What I am concerned about is that our Server has been hijaked and is
sending out spam?

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

A configuration error in the e-mail system caused the
message to bounce between two servers or to be forwarded between two
recipients. Contact your administrator.

We seem to have a problem when one of our users recieve messages

one specific remote sender. The messages are delivered all the way

to
the back-end server, but there a NDR is created:

This sounds like a message a sender would receive, not a recipient.
It's
the result of two mail routers thinking that each is the forwarder for
itself; i.e., router A thinks that in order to reach the recipient,
router B
must handle the message and router B thinks that A should handle the
message.

Who sent the original messge that elicited this NDR and who received
the
NDR?

It probably hasn;t been hijacked. I think two things are happening here.
The first is that your address has been hijacked and the second is that the
mail routers at company.com are misconfigured or that "name" forwards his
mail to someone and that someone forwards it back to name.
