Invalid recipients are not rejected by qmail at all; qmail accepts messages for any user and later bounces them if the recipient doesn't exist. This makes qmail a prolific source of backscatter spam.
Even if qmail did reject invalid recipients, however, spamdyke wouldn't be able to use its return code. This is because the graylisting rejection must take place before the recipient address is sent to qmail. Once a recipient address has been added to a message, there is no way to remove it without closing and restarting the connection. I've been working on adding recipient validation to spamdyke and it's basically done. I'm currently fixing some other bugs and testing the new features. -- Sam Clippinger slamp slamp wrote: > is it by design for spamdyke to create graylist files/folders for > non-existent users? isn't that rejected at the smtp level with a 550? > > running spamdyke 4.0.10 with qmailtoaster. > > log-target=stderr > log-level=info > local-domains-file=/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts > max-recipients=5 > idle-timeout-secs=600 > reject-empty-rdns > reject-unresolvable-rdns > reject-ip-in-cc-rdns > reject-missing-sender-mx > ip-whitelist-file=/home/vpopmail/etc/whitelist_ip > greeting-delay-secs=5 > dns-blacklist-entry=zen.spamhaus.org > dns-blacklist-entry=bl.spamcop.net > tls-certificate-file=/var/qmail/control/servercert.pem > graylist-level=always > graylist-dir=/home/vpopmail/graylisting > graylist-min-secs=300 > graylist-max-secs=1814400 > config-dir=/home/vpopmail/graylisting/config_dir > _______________________________________________ > spamdyke-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.spamdyke.org/mailman/listinfo/spamdyke-users > _______________________________________________ spamdyke-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.spamdyke.org/mailman/listinfo/spamdyke-users
