Hi all,

I do agree. Nevertheless, some sort of hack or setting in Amavis could allow 
that (creation of an alternate message that it would distribute to the inner 
SMTP while it sends a REJECT to the outer SMTP.

I don't understand why you recommend to run Amavis as a milter instead of my 
current setup if you think it would not achieve the goal... Am I missing 
something?

Ok, any idea how I should proceed? To my knowledge "quarantine" makes Postfix 
accept the message, then can't trigger a REJECT on outer SMTP.
