You may need to recompile spamdyke-qrv with excessive output and run it with two "-v" flags to see the details you need. You don't need to actually install that recompiled copy; running it from the build folder should work just as well.
Gives: . .QRV-EXCESSIVE(validate()@validate-qrv.c:818): INVALID RECIPIENT recipient: jackspr...@pricom.com.au resolved username: jackspratt
Hmmm . . curious - that actually does what we expect. In the conf file I have:
reject-recipient=invalid- am I still missing something? It seems spamdyke is not calling spamdyke-qrv?
Thanks, Phil.

This is the qmail-send program at pricom.com.au [1]. I tried to deliver a bounce message to this address, but the bounce bounced!"You can try running spamdyke-qrv manually with the "-v" flag (possibly twice) to see why it's deciding to allow the recipient. Something like this: spamdyke-qrv -v pricom.com.au [1] [1] jacksprattOK, that was one problem - I have never created a /var/qmail/users/assign file and built a /var/qmail/users/cdb file before . . but now, after going through that exercise, that command runs with no error or output and a delivery to jackspratt is still attempted . .

Now I want to try and stop the delivered spams that have invalid email addresses - I have compiled and installed spamdyke-qrv OK and set "reject-recipient" to "invalid" but these spams are still getting through and then being bounced and since the return address is bogus I get a postmaster message that the bounce has failed eg for the address: jackspr...@pricom.com.au - suggestions?
