Sorry if this is an obvious question but why isn't there an option for
Spamassassin to bounce spam? Sure it does a good job at filtering spam but
I
don't want it from my web(mail)server to my inbox. I want my web- or
mailserver to bounce suspected spam. Is this a feature that could be
implemented?
TIA,
Because there are people like me who submit sites that bounce spam to me
to SpamHaus, SpamCop, and others?
"There is no way to bounce spam," is a good general rule to follow.
There is nothing in the message, usually, that tells you precisely who
sent the spam. The return path, reply to, and sender or "from" fields
are all forgeable. Sites that bounce spam after the receipt transaction
is over are aiding spammers rather than helping poor sods who have been
hacked.
Having been a victim of a forged "From:" address hack, a Joe Job, I can
tell you reliably that I will crawl through the wires back to the MTA
that bounced back to me and rip the CPU out of the hard drive. And if
the operator is nearby I will rip his heart out through his mouth.
{o.o} Joanne hates idiots who bounce and thus commit joe jobs.
'Nuf said?
