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
PhishTag - SpamAssassin plugin for redirecting links in incoming emails.
SYNOPSIS
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::PhishTag
trigger_ratio 0.1
trigger_target RULE_NAME http://www.antiphishing.org/consumer_recs.html
DESCRIPTION
PhishTag enables administrators to rewrite links in emails that trigger certain tests, preferably anti-phishing blacklist tests. The plugin
will inhibit the blocking of a portion of the emails that trigger the test by SpamAssassin, and let them pass to the users' inbox after the
rewrite. It is useful in providing training to email users about company policies and general email usage.
OPTIONS
The following options can be set by modifying the configuration file.
o trigger_ratio percentage_value
Sets the probability in percentage that a positive test will trigger the email rewrite, e.g. 0.1 will rewrite on the average 1 in 1000
emails that match the trigger.
o trigger_target RULE_NAME http_url
The name of the test which would trigger the email rewrite; all the URLs will be replaced by http_url.
DOWNLOAD
