OK here is the scenario. Spammer sends mail to: [email protected] from forged address [email protected]

If [email protected] is delivered locally, not a problem, if the address is invalid, postix rejects the mail during the smtp connection.

But if [email protected] is an alias to [email protected], postfix accepts the mail as deliverable and forwards it to hotmail.com. But if [email protected] can for whatever reason not be delivered, otherserver.com does what it is supposed to do and rejects the mail during the smtp connection, which causes postfix to send out a non-delivery report to [email protected] -- backscatter.

Is there a way to stop this?

Yes. Don't forward SPAM.

And how do I do that in this scenario?
