In your next message you state that your BOUNCE_ENV_SENDER address is set to be dropped in your incoming filter. But if BOUNCE_ENV_SENDER is a non-existent address, how does it get delivered to you? It would have to get delivered to you for TMDA to kick in and process the filter file on it. I set up a real address, [EMAIL PROTECTED], that gets dropped in my incoming filter. This allows my MTA to deliver it and TMDA to process it. > Do I have to modify the postmaster address or actually create an > alias for this non-existant address? You don't have to do anything to postmaster, but the address must be real enough to either run TMDA or always drop the mail. If the non-existent address is *not* an extension address of yours, then you should create an alias that just drops it. For example, if you're using qmail and you've set BOUNCE_ENV_SENDER to [EMAIL PROTECTED], you can create ~alias/.qmail-spambounce and just put a single '#' in it. That will make it a real address but will just drop the mail. In that case, you don't need to mention your BOUNCE_ENV_SENDER address in your filter, since TMDA will never see it anyhow.
