Yes, the patch is at www.interazioni.it/qmail, specifically made for vpopmail. This patch rejects SMTP connections for not existing local mailboxes. >What is the best way to deal with a bounce than bounced... Happens >expecially with the vacation solution processing spam... It replies to an >address that does not exists or is being bounced. The next thing I know is >I get it in my mailbox being the administrator of the main domain. But in the examples provided the problem is different. The local mailbox exists, it is the sender mailbox that does not exist. Qmail accepts the message (and the patch would let the message flow, because the mailing list exists), then the mailing list (or the auto-responder) replies to a not existing user. Here starts a completely different problem, related only to bouncing, and not to rejecting not existing local users. Tonino >Thanks! >Jan > > > >Example: > >Hi.
