I think this question is about outgoing backscatter. Is there a way to deny/drop all incoming backscatter? I guess the questions are:
1. Do MTAs consistently indicate in the headers that this is a bounce 2. does spamdyke have a rule to decide based on this? Often a random user in my company will get upwards of 2000 mailer daemon messages in one day. I understand that this would mean 2 things, one is that I will lose out on real bounces. The other (if I deny it) is that I am possibly just pushing the backscatter problem upstream and making it worse for somebody else. I don't mind having to change the spamdyke source. Bruce - you could completely disable bounces from qmail (another sledgehammer approach). - Venkat -----Original Message----- From: Sam Clippinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, April 18, 2008 15:51:38 Subject: Re: [spamdyke-users] Backscatter Spam Question You're not alone in wanting this feature -- recipient validation is at the top of my TODO list for spamdyke's version-after-next. I'm trying my best to get the next version (4.0.0) tested and documented so I can release it, hopefully this month. Once that's done, I'll be tackling recipient validation. Checking an LDAP directory is probably not going to be possible in my first attempt, however. -- Sam Clippinger Bruce Schreiber wrote: > I am receiving complaints about backscatter spam from my mail service. > I would like to add a filter to block mail addressed to users that are > not in my LDAP directory and drop them before Qmail starts its > process.
