I need help. (pun included) Someone is using "[email protected]" as the source of spam e-mail. The address does not exist...
delivering 1fI8dS-0008Pd-DC (queue run pid 700) LOG: MAIN ** [email protected]: Unknown user ...but I do manage the domain "help.co.za" I also allow wildcards in addresses - so "*@help.co.za" could be forwarded to a single "catchall" account and some customers use this to "fetch" all their e-mails.... I'm getting a few 100 per minute which upsets the Load Average - which stops local delivery. What would be the most appropriate means to /dev/null this crap. I'm running my users from a MySQL database and serve a few hundred domains - each with multiple email users. I'm running a pretty new version of exim and do this on a Gentoo machine. Either - create a user by the appropriate name and forward it to what??? or - somehow tell exim when it gets an unknown user to /dev/null it ??? Second would be better - as long as its logged - How do I do this? -- Mark James ELKINS - Posix Systems - (South) Africa [email protected] Tel: +27.128070590 Cell: +27.826010496 For fast, reliable, low cost Internet in ZA: https://ftth.posix.co.za -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
