I'm reposting this - slightly modified - as my previous subject line my have involuntarily triggered many spamfilters:
(qmail-ldap-20040101) Problem 1: A bounce message arrives at my mailserver for a non-existing account on my domain. Spamassassin (X-Spam-Status) identifies it correctly as bounced spam (usually the result of spam with fake return addresses to a non-existing account on another mailserver - being rejected and bounced "back" to my domain, since it appears as return domain.) The vast majority of these bounces comes from AOL who apparently doesn't perform much checking before even accepting messages. Postmaster (me) gets the failure message, filling up my inbox at hundreds per day. It's easy to overlook useful information (i.e. "real" bounces) in this flood. Can qmail be configured to silently drop these messages, instead of replying and forwarding them to postmaster? Surely, I could write a procmail rule as workaround, but I'd rather fight the problem when it first occurs. (Of course best would be if the bouncing mail server would check first if the sender address matches the DNS information - but that's wishful thinking at the moment.) Problem 2: (related) Is there a way to suppress creating "user doesn't exist" bounces if an incoming message is identified as spam? Can anyone see why this wouldn't be desirable? Thanks, Thomas -- Thomas Klettke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
