SMTP Qeues Question

I am getting a lot of attempts to access my exchange server that are sent to "postmaster@mydomain.com" from domains unknown. Is there any way that I can trap those as they enter the qeue and not have them clog up my server--ie:send them directly to the badmail folder? Can I create a connector that will do that?

Thanks~

Just trying to make sense of it all ...
 
Those are likely NDR messages waiting to go out as someone attempts to use you as a relay.

You can't really block those, as the postmaster messages are part of the delivery process when a message can't be delivered.

You can turn of NDR's to the Internet.
