1000s of undelivered email messages
Hi,
My boss has suddenly started receiving 1000s of messages in his inbox. They are undelivered messages that are bouncing back, though the emails weren't coming from him. I guess either these are fake undelivered messages and are just scam emails. Or they are real emails being sent with spoofed email addresses. Or what other possibilities could it be? and how to find out what it is?

NAME
reporter-mailx - Sends contents of a problem directory via email.
SYNOPSIS
reporter-mailx [-v] -d DIR [-c CONFFILE]
DESCRIPTION
The tool reads a problem directory, composes an email message from the directory contents, and uses mailx to send the message to specified
recipient.
Properties of email messages can be specified in a configuration file, and via environment variables.
Configuration file
Configuration file contains entries in a format "Option = Value".
The options are:
Subject
The subject of the email message.
EmailFrom
The sender of the email message.
EmailTo
The recipient of the email message.
SendBinaryData
Use yes/true/on/1 to attach all binary files from the problem directory to the email. This can cause the emails to be very large.
Integration with ABRT events

in /etc/libreport/events.d/mailx_event.conf:

to run the tool on the post-create event:
EVENT=post-create reporter-mailx
OPTIONS
-d DIR
Path to problem directory.
-c CONFFILE
