Zitat von Randy Ramsdell <rramsd...@activedg.com>:
Hi,
I am going to have to implement something that drops rejected mail
from one of our aliases.
The scenario is that we forward to a external server and cannot match
its spam/UCE rules so our server backskatters mail.
One way would be to drop all rejects. I think this will work because
our server handles the $users and only forwards known.
Or what would be the best practices way?
Best practice is to not forward mail to destinations which don't accept
it. If the detination has no feature of "whitelist" your server, disable
forwarding to that destination. All other options lead to potential mail
blackholes which are worse than spam.

I understand this. However, I cannot tell the President of our company
that he can't use his exchange server and it is beyond my control to
change the hosted exchange server configuration. I have to forward this
mail no matter what I think should be done.
So to rephrase, what would be the best practices way given I have to do
forward this email and am powerless to change the design other than our
setup which may only include trying to mitigate backskatter?
