[courier-users] Backscatter supression

2011-05-12 Thread Peter Ford
I've been getting the dreaded 556 error occasionally for an address on our 
server (sa...@justcroft.com), and I can't quite diagnose the problem.

The address points to a couriermlm list, and normally goes fine, then every so 
often the BSS kicks in and customers complain they can't reach the address - it 
is the main point of contact for most of our customers, so pretty critical for 
our business.

The problem is, I can't see any evidence of an error delivering to that address 
which might be sparking off the BSS. Given that it's a list, would a failed 
delivery to one of the list addresses do that?

To try and work around the problem and ensure that delivery still happens, I 
have set

opt BOFHSUPPRESSBACKSCATTER=none

in bofh, although I stil have

ESMTP_BLOCKBACKSCATTER=smtp/dsn

in courierd - is that 'safe' (i.e. it won't get my server blacklisted...) ?
And will it switch off the 556 messages? That's how I read the manual, but I 
might be wrong...

Cheers
Pete

No, that would not be the reason.
