Currently running Courier 0.44.2 as a backup MX for several of my domains, and I notice this (extremely) repetitive cycle of messages in my maillog. Presumably this is because the server is trying to deliver original (spam) messages, getting a failure because the users don't exist or whatnot, trying to send a failure message to a nonexistent account and getting a failure for that, and then trying to send a failure to the postmaster account, which does not exist on this server because it is solely a backup MX and has no local delivery whatsoever.
I've seen postings about this before, but I don't recall the solutions (nor can I find them when searching through the list archives). So my question is, plain and simply, how do I stop this from happening?
I don't want this kind of unnecessary activity on the server, nor do I want my logs to be polluted like this anymore.
