thanks Darrell!
Yes - I had considered that and maybe there is no problem now. This user
is on vacation, has the vacation reply set, and had email being
forwarded to a personal account.
I also was wondering if the apparent spam messages were from previous
user and just bouncing back as deferred, and would die off after a bit
since I deleted that user. The previous user (jenns) in the maillog
showed the "Authentication-Warning jenns set sender" to other email
account users as well but now it is just using "set sender" to its own
email address.
