One one server we don't do filtering except for those servers/domains which repeatedly give connection refused or timed out. In this case, I go through the mailq output looking for messages from MAILER-DAEMON and take the domain name of the sender and add it to a reject map. A bit of scripting and this could be made much quicker.
Also, see why the bouces are being generated. If you are using this as a frontend to IMail, do you export your users to Postfix? This would allow postfix to do a reject for unknown users instead of bouncing them. Keep in mind that on a busy server there will always be a number of valid connection timed out or rejected messages that aren't the result of spam just varying network issues. -- Chris Scott Host Orlando, Inc http://www.hostorlando.com/
