 Hey All,

 I seem to be getting more spam lately and in an effort to protect my clients
 I use a catch all in the the virtuser table

 @domain-name.ext error:nouser

 However, this is resulting in more traffic as the spam needs to be bounced
 back out, to a server that refuses the mail and so on.

 Question is: is it possible to send catch all mail to a blackhole? dev/null
 for example

Sure.  Hint: look in /etc/mail/aliases for the definition of the
`bit-bucket' and `dev-null' aliases... :)

you can use mail/access file to deny mail from
certain domains. also rbl (eg ordb) can be use to
reduce spam.
