Qmail Queue is full with Spam mails

[Webroy]

Hi All,

A customer of mine has got a Centos 5 server with Plesk 9.2.1.

The Relaying option is closed in plesk,

Turned on: Switch on SPF spam protection

Reject mail when turns to fail

include:spf.trusted-forwarder.org

The problem is that his mail server queue is getiing full with spam everytime.

Does anyone knows a solution? or is the problem that he has got scripts on his server which are causing this.

This is what i see in the queue, the sender or reciever is not known by us.


Thanks for any advise

It looks like it solved by:

Enable message submission

Switch on SPF SPAM protection : Reject mail when it does not resolv to pass

Switch on spam protection based on dns with:

sbl.spamhaus.org;zen.spamhaus.org

Before or after this delete alll the messages in the queueu by hand or with for example qmail-remove...
