Hi Noel,

Yes please!  But can you tell me how to do this...  I really don't
want to bounce the spam at all.  I am using postfix 2.6, I built the
rpm from source.

Many thanks!,
David

Here is my main.cf (abbreviated I show only activated options)


[[Please don't top post.
Please show "postconf -n" rather than random main.cf snips.
Please show related logging.]]


You'll need to investigate where your bounces are coming from by examining your log - find out why postfix generated a bounce. Start by searching your logfile for the QUEUEID displayed by the "mailq" command.

The "usual" source of unwanted bounces is accepting mail for undeliverable recipients rather than rejecting such mail during SMTP. The postfix method of recipient validation depends on the address class of the recipient domain.
http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_CLASS_README.html

Also note that any address matched by virtual_alias_maps or *canonical_maps is considered valid, so "@domain @domain" wildcard mapping effectively disables recipient validation.


Please see

and especially
