That's how I have it set. Like I say I get 99% of them blocked it's just
what I assume is a carefully crafted spam that is getting bounced. They all
seem to be the 2 or 3 same type of spam messages of the day. You don't see
this at all on your server ?

Hello All,
I know everyone has probably figured this out but me. I am using
md_check_against_smtp_server on my mimedefang server to check
usernames before sending the mail to my server. I seem to have a lot
of bounce messages that get sent from my server with invalid from
addresses. I know there are some that are being rejected because of
full mail boxes and I can understand those but I have messages that
are being rejected by unknown user and then the bounce fails. These
end up in my postmaster account. I have also notice that at times AOL
or some other provider will black hole me for this. I don't know why
these messages don't get rejected by md_check_against_smtp_server. How
do I keep my server to discard these messages without trying to send
them?
Thanks in Advance
Wayne
Hi Wayne,
We also run CGP, and I use md_check_against_smtp successfully. What you
need to check is the "Domain Settings" for the domains you are testing
against. In the "unknown names" section, make sure that the "Mail to
Unknown Name is:" is set to "Rejected". If it's anything else, the
md_check_against_smtp will not work.
Hope this helps.
Richard
