I have issue on my email server that handles multiple domains in it.

For example:
mydomain1.com
mydomain2.com
mydomain3.com
mydomain4.com

If we send email to mydomain1@mydomain1.com (the account have the same name as the domain name), it will be sent to multiple user accounts within @mydomain1.com (but only around 70% received it, not all), it acted like a mailing list address but I never created any of it (already checked using search account feature - no result).

After testing to all of my domain, this anomaly only happen at mydomain1.com and mydomain2.com.
Sending email to mydomain3@mydomain3.com will instantly responded with :

The following recipient(s) cannot be reached:

  'mydomain3@mydomain3.com' on 2/27/2015 8:38 PM
       Server error: '550 5.1.1 <mydomain3@mydomain3.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table'

It is now being abused by spam and advertising emails, somehow it bypassed the spam filter.

Let me know if any of you ever experienced the same issue and hopefully have explanation/solution.

Thanks.

Re: non-existent mailing list account issue

Fixed: caused by bug in iRedAdmin-Pro. If you delete mailing list account from search result page, iRedAdmin-Pro deletes mailing list account without removing membership stored in mail user accounts.

Here's patch if you're interested in solving it on current running iRedAdmin-Pro release:
