>The router table includes > <*> = spamtrap Having slept on it, it's clear why this doesn't work even if the rule appears as the last line in the router rules: - the router translates all left-over local parts to spamtrap - the router loops - the router translates spamtrap to spamtrap
***Question: is there a wqay to force keywords (null, error, spamtrap, unknown) to terminate router looping? If not, should there be? Let's approach the question a different way... If the "own domain name" is "mail.domain.com", then the foreign aliasing rule <*@mail.domain.com> = spamtram doesn't work, because the domain part was set to an empty string as the first part of the router processing. *** Question: correct? *** Observed Behavior: correct! However, the documentation says, "Foreign Alias records contains a full name in the angle brackets and the Router scans them when it processes every address (not only the addresses with an empty domain name part)." *** Question: doesn't this contradict the Observed Behavior? So, again, how to accomplish, "A final rule which forces all unmatched local parts to spamtrap" ?? --------- Sample router log, where - the "odwn domain name" is "mail.domain.com" - last rule is "<*@mail.domain.com> = spamtrap" - there is no JUNK account 11:38:32 5 ROUTER Input: JUNK(mail.domain.com) 11:38:32 5 ROUTER Parser: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> JUNK(mail.domain.com) 11:38:32 3 SYSTEM The current date is Tuesday, September 17, 2002 11:38:32 5 ROUTER Input: JUNK() 11:38:32 5 ROUTER Parser: JUNK -> JUNK() 11:38:32 1 SMTP-041([209.150.239.246]) SPAM?
