The other day, I posted a syslog-based proceure that you can use to detect when undeliverable error bounces are getting repeatedly queued on your side, and then to automatically remove them from your queue.
Look back in the mailing list for posts by me during this week, and you'll find a description of the method that I use within syslog, and in a second message by me, you'll find the Perl script that I use to actually delete the messages. This script can be modified to look at any criteria in the queue control file and any headers or body data in the message, and to use that info to decide whether the message should be removed from the queue. It's a bit of a hack, but it works well for me. > I am sorry to keep bringing this up, but I have tried everything and am > not sure where to turn next! > > The issue: one particular domain *appears* to be using me as a > relay.
