Is this for real?  I have been getting hundreds of error messages from
our mail server at night with the following cotent:

       Your message was not delivered because the destination computer
was
       not found.  Carefully check that it was spelled correctly and try

       sending it again if there were any mistakes.

           Host spamco.com not found

          The following recipients did not receive this message:

            <Bigspamdaddy @
 spamco .
 com>

       The original mail envelope addresses are:

       User-From: SMTP<>
       Recipient: [<Bigspamdaddy @
 spamco .
 com>]


Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,
