That is why you never bounce. Reject, good -- bounce, bad!
Umm, not if you are expecting the mail system to work...
Mailscanner doesn't bounce spam by default. It hasn't for close to two years.
But the option is still there, and is discouraged in the docs, in the comments
of the config file, and is very discouraged on the lists.
It comes down to two things. If you are required by law to archive "all"
communications to or from your company, or like some countries cannot reject
e-mail without a human being reviewing it, use mailscanner. If you can reject
anything you please, and your users won't ask you for it later, use
mimedefang. The only bounce messages I generate are for unknown users,
The majority of my inbound mail is to unknown users. When I used a
mailer that
accepted, then bounced it would fill my outbound queue to the point that
normal
outbound mail was often delayed. Does mailscanner on a relay machine
have a
way to check valid users on the destination host before accepting?
