Dear Colleagues,
I have a question concerning privacy. I have a suspicion that my former mailbox is still being checked by someone, though it had been formally deleted. Most probably they use sendmail and rhel (or its clone) on it, let's name the server 'cheaters.com'
So, I do the following things:
1. I send a test email to my former address [email protected] and get no reply at all
2. After a few minutes I send another email and get the following reply with title "Returned mail: see transcript for details":
The original message was received at Thu, 24 Oct 2013 09:21:36 +0200 from xxxx.xxx [my current mail server]
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- address1
(reason: 550 5.1.1 User unknown)
(expanded from: < [email protected]>)
----- Transcript of session follows ----- 550 5.1.1 address1... User unknown
3. Then I send an email to that server with username which for sure has never existed, let's say [email protected] and get the following message with title "Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender":
This is the mail system at host [my current mail server].
I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.
For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.
If you do so, please include this problem report. You can delete your own text from the attached returned message.
The mail system
< [email protected] >: host [my former mail server]] said:
550 5.1.1 <[email protected] >... User unknown (in reply to RCPT
TO command)
So, I'm wondering why there's no automatic reply to my first test message and why when I send the second one it says "The original message was received". Is it possible that my former employer could somehow read the messages sent to my former address?
Thanks in advance
