[AMaViS-user] postfix issue/questions regarding relay_recipients

2006-11-06 Thread Bärtl , Martin
Event though this is the amavisd list, i hope to get an answer for my postfix 
problem/questions.
 
We are using postfix/amavisd-new as a mail gateway for our exchange server. As 
we are getting very much spam and infected mails for non existent recipients, i 
just installed a (perl)script to update our relay_recipients from AD 
frequently. Now all mails to non existent mail addresses are not accepted and 
we get much less spam/infected mails (around 2500 less a day).  BUT for each 
mail that isn't accepted by postfix the postmaster gets an error mail from 
Mail Delivery System (postfix). 
Is there a way to stop postfix from sending those error mails for non existent 
users but keep sending the normal errors like lost connection etc.? Like 
this we just changed 2500 spam mails to 2500 error mails a day. The normal 
errors are only about 10 a day.
 
2nd question: after updating the relay_recipients (and doing a postmap 
relay_recipients) do i have to reload postfix each time? If yes, i better 
update less frequent.
 
thanks
 
Regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Most likely you have bounce set in notify_classes. They are not really
that interesting errors.

 2nd question: after updating the relay_recipients (and doing a postmap
 relay_recipients) do i have to reload postfix each time? If yes, i better

Please, http://www.postfix.org/DATABASE_README.html

'If you change a local file based database such as DBM or Berkeley DB, there
is no need to execute postfix reload.'

Cheers,
Henrik
