Hi Reindl, thanks for you reply...:-) ! this is a mailrelay for internal hosts sending to Internet... not accessible/receiving mails from Internet. The bou...@mydomain.com mailbox is externally hosted and has filtering processes configured. If I thought of doing this - how can this be done in the configuration (would it be better/more secure to create a bounce-account locally on my mailrelay instead of on our official externally hosted mailserver) ?
Thanks in advance :-) ! ~maymann 2012/1/12 Reindl Harald <h.rei...@thelounge.net> > you really will not do this because you would open > a door for a DOS-attack - imagine someone does not > love you and starts sending mails you are rejecting > in a loop to your server until your disk is full > > best practice is send as less as possible generated > mails and that is why you normally should reject > > the delivering server is in this case responsible > for creating bounce-massages or not > > Am 12.01.2012 19:04, schrieb Michael Maymann: > > Hi Noel, > > > > Thanks for your kind reply...:-) ! > > This is for incoming mails (perhaps it is not called bouncing > then...?)... :-o > > When I am about to reject an incoming mail - can I first forward this > mail to a external mailbox and then reject > > afterwards... or shouldn't I be doing this... is this considered bad > behaviour...? > > How can this be done - please provide examples if possible. > > > > > > Thanks in advance :-) ! > > ~maymann > > > > 2012/1/5 Noel Jones <njo...@megan.vbhcs.org <mailto: > njo...@megan.vbhcs.org>> > > > > On 1/5/2012 8:04 AM, Michael Maymann wrote: > > > Hi List, > > > > > > I have a mailrelay (internal->external), that I'm trying to harden > > > by allowing only certain external domains. > > > Is it possible to send bouncing mails to a specific > > > bou...@mydomain.com <mailto:bou...@mydomain.com> <mailto: > bou...@mydomain.com <mailto:bou...@mydomain.com>> > > account, so I can > > > keep an extra eye on what is being bounced when I do the switch, > and > > > perhaps some weeks after...? > > > > > > Thanks in advance :-) ! > > > ~maymann > > > > > > When you send the original mail, set the envelope sender to the > > bounce address, and all bounces will be returned to that address > > automatically.
