As I said - he is of course correct. Mail admins never make any errors at all, so being able to turn off Postscatter would be retarded. What a stupid feature to provide. Please forgive me for being such a retard to ask such a retarded thing. I've now taken a 'perfect' pill and will never make a mistake that will produce a single item of pointless Postscatter again :-) > > Accepting a message then trashing the NDR and deleting the message will turn > you into something that your users and the senders hate. > > The problem isn't that you're getting the "wrong" kind of spam it's that > you're attempting to process it incorrectly. So if I wish to whitelist (exempt) ab...@example.com from;
header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/maps/header_checks mime_header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/maps/mime_header_checks body_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/maps/body_checks I am processing it incorrectly. Of course I am. How stupid of me! Would you like to tell a retard like me the correct way to whitelist (exempt) ab...@example.com from header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/maps/header_checks mime_header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/maps/mime_header_checks body_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/maps/body_checks I am always happy to learn from experts Terry. Please educate me :-) Whilst Wietse's Postfix mostly rocks you need to drop that 'God' like arse licking Terry. It makes you look a tit dude. If something sucks it sucks. No matter who wrote it, who's project it is, or the cost of it. Not being able to disable Postscatter is retarded. Not being able to whitelist/exempt header/mime or body checks is retarded. Go figure!
