Our IT department noticed that openemm was trying to connect to the following address: mail-mx-1.tiscali.it . It was being blocked by our spam filter, but he gave it permission to connect.
I looked up the tiscali.it address and then found tiscali.com.
Is this a safe site to connect to? I noticed Tiscali is a customer of openemm and I didn't know why openemm would need to connect to their site?
I would appreciate it if anyone could give me more information.
Thanks!

You can search the complete source code of OpenEMM and will not find any reference to "tiscali". Your problem is unrelated to OpenEMM.

Tiscali may not appear in your source code, but they appear on your website! That is a really rare coincidence that their email address would just up and pop up in our system. I only have 5 recipients in my email list and they consist of 2 of our employee addresses and 3 of my own outside email accounts. All those addresses are being used for testing purposes. We haven't even sent our first mass mailing yet.
Yet, as of right now I can't even send one email because I have 29,962 emails in openemm's queue folder!! Where did all of those email addresses come from if I only have 5!? It says the queue is full and won't send any others. They are all trying to go to addresses that are completely unrelated to our company. Clearly SPAM. One of the subjects reads: "International Pharmacy ! Get the best meds here!"
I see that as a serious issue. If we didn’t have a firewall, what would stop them emails from continuously being generated and sent out?
I really don't care whose problem it is. I really want to use this software, and I have to find a solution to deal with this issue in order to do so. So, rather than pointing out how it’s some how our fault and can no way be related to your software, how bout a few helpful suggestions as to what we might look for.
