----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Folks,

My users have been recieving unwanted mail from this address:

---

Return-path: <Mailer-Daemon@interramp.com>
Received: from interramp.com (pop3.interramp.com)

I see these two addresses as where the messages are coming from:

mailer-daemon@interramp.com
pop3.interramp.com

Questions:

1) How do I stop this ? Do I tell my mail system to not accept any mail from
any address with interramp.com ?
2) How do I express my dissatisfication with this practice ?
3) Besides telling my users to delete the messages, what can _they_ do ?

Thanks,
