Subject: Dear Postmaster, please check your DNS- and/or HELO-name...
Dear Postmaster,
you are receiving this mail since your mailserver is probably misconfigured or someone is abusing your domainname.
This message was sent to you automatically.
This Mailserver applies very strict rules to incoming mails as a measure against spam. These rules may cause some side-effects.
This mail was sent to inform you that you may be affected by this.
Some mail coming from one of your mail relays or from one of your customers was rejected due to one or more of the following reasons:
= INVALID REVERSE DNS RECORD ==============================================
Your mailserver is using a IP address for sending that has no valid reverse DNS record. This makes it very hard to determine if this IP
is eligible to send mail for your domain and thus many mailservers
will reject mails coming from this IP.
How to fix this:
Contact your network department or ISP to setup a reverse DNS mapping from the IP 116.41.202.201 to your HELO hostname [116.41.202.201].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
= GENERAL INFORMATION =====================================================
Jul 24 16:06:46 noxis postfix/smtpd[5715]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[116.41.202.201]: 450 4.7.1 Client host rejected: cannot find your hostname, [116.41.202.201]; from=<user@yourdomain.net> to=<disho@noxis.net> proto=ESMTP helo=<[116.41.202.201]>
The rejected email probably still resides on the machine with
the IP-Address: 116.41.202.201, calling itself [116.41.202.201].
Investigations at my end show:
Sender= user@yourdomain.net
Recipient = disho@noxis.net
From-IP= 116.41.202.201
From-Host = unknown
Helo= [116.41.202.201]
'dig [116.41.202.201]' resulted in : not found 'dig -x 116.41.202.201' resulted in: unknown 'dig unknown' resulted in: not found
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
To make sure you mail gets delivery to all users of this mailserver please fix all issues listed above.
You will receive this mail only once. Please act acordingly to restore
full service to your users.

5/5/2011 - Fake Email
Rapid City Journal Article
Sioux Falls police say an email that urges readers to beware of
terrorists posing as UPS employees is fake.
The email about a supposed large UPS uniform purchase through an online auction site tells the reader that terrorists could use the outfits
as disguises. It urges people who encounter a UPS employee to ask
for identification.
The email appears to come from the Sioux Falls Police Department,
but officials there say that isn't the case and the information in the
email is not true. Police in Yankton also have issued a statement
alerting people about the bogus email.
Example of the false email message
From: Could be any email address

Subject: UPS Uniforms Possible terrorists.
UPS Uniforms
Government Warning regarding purchase of UPS uniforms:
There has been a huge purchase, $32,000 worth, of United Parcel
Service (UPS) uniforms on eBay over the last 30 days. This could represent a serious threat as bogus drivers (terrorists) can drop off anything to anyone with deadly consequences! If you have ANY
questions when a UPS driver appears at your door they should be
able to furnish VALID I.D.
Additionally, if someone in a UPS uniform comes to make a drop off
or pick up, make absolutely sure! they are driving a UPS truck. UPS doesn't make deliveries or pickups in anything, except a company vehicle. If you have a problem, call your local law enforcement agency right away!
TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY! Tell everyone in your office, your family, your friends, etc. Make people aware so that we can prepare and/or avoid terrorist attacks on our people! Thank you for your time in reviewing
this and PLEASE send to EVERYONE on your list, even if they are friend
or foe. We should all be aware!
