My company is getting spammed by itself, or rather by it’s Qmail, we’ve got a few automated processes sending out e-mails with Qmail and Zend Mail.
I’m not a expert in either of these, (I know literally nothing about them), and the ‘spam e-mails’ are Qmail telling us that a series of e-mails being sent isn’t RFC 5322 compliant.
Is there a way for me to locate what is generating these error e-mails? Or a place where I can find out what e-mails it’s trying to deliver but can’t.
This is the mail we recieve

Answer
Your From:
header has no value. This is a pretty blatant violation of RFC 5322. Fix your application so that it provides a valid value for the From:
header.
