Hello *,I am spamed on two of my servers <abuse> and <postmaster>. Exactly, today afternoon I was runing into a Quota problem because the two above E-Mails have usesd a whole partition of 10 GByte which I had reserved for systemuse. The two mailservers are outbound only (with spamassassin and clamav-ng) and only authenticated users from my network can use it. According to RFC2142 section 1. paragraph 1: Various Internet documents have specified mailbox names to be used when reaching the operators of the new service; for example, [RFC822 6.3, C.6] requires the presence of a <postmas...@domain> mailbox name on all hosts that have an SMTP server. Since this two Mailservers will NEVER receive messages from the Internet must I use the two above E-Mails?
If they do not receive any mail, then there wouldn't be any way to deliver mail to their postmaster mailbox in any case.
Realy, I can not handel over 8000 mails per day in this mailboxes and this server was already listed, because there was someone sending a "test message" containing spam to it which was rejected and gone into a honny pot of one of those RBL's.
If Courier rejected the message, then it could not've been gone into anyone's honeypot because Courier never accepted the message in the first place.
Maybe I am militant but if I get one of this spamers I will kill him/her It is not realy funny to have an Internet access of 2.5 Mbit, with ~8000 legitim messages but over 110000 spams
This sounds like a typical ratio.I got about 17,000 rejections in my mail logs over a course of a week. I don't exactly know how much non-spam mail I get per week, but I think it's definitely less than a thousand.
If you are not using cbl.abuseat.org, use it. Out of the 17,000 rejections, about 4,000 are from cbl.abuseat.org.
