Domains in Outgoing destination status

[bpeterson111]

When looking at my dashboard I see a lot of odd domains in the outgoing destination status.  Many of the names make no sense and have "active recipients" numbering from 4 down to 1.  But no deliveries which is probably a good thing.

Is there a way to see what is originating these?  I assume I should only be seeing domains I host or familiar external domains.

Most likely you have senders that mistyped or perhaps errant spamming outbound from sender/host?  You can run showrecipients to get an idea of what might be in queue, and little more information on them.  Use deleterecipients if you know that a host/domain is not needed, and those you can remove safely.  The appliance holds bad DNS bound messages - so, if you do clear, and want to make sure the appliance cleans itself up in tophosts active_rcpts, then also run dnsflush to assure DNS is cleaned as well.  This should reflect a happy-again listing.

That helps a little bit but I think the domains may just keep popping back up.

I have attached an example of what I am seeing.  I'm pretty certain all those domains are nothing legitimate.

I could delete them like you say but other, garbage domains will just pop up.

Hello Bpeterson,

I would strongly recommend using showrecipients command on "all" to see the type of emails being seen, if there is a common sender or so, you can remove ALL emails from this sender with deleterecipients

Else with the showrecipients command, you can then see the MID of such email examples

Then use showmessage by MID and paste that MID where you can back-trace the headers to the original source.
