I was under the impression that DISCARD was better then REJECT due to backscatter? We get hundreds of crazy emails to things likeya64s...@mydomain.com, so I opted for DISCARD instead. I'll do some more reading and see how I can get this to fly. Thanks again.
No offense, but you need to take a few steps back, admit you don't know what you are doing, and start over.
Backscatter is caused by NOT doing what Ansgar recommended (which is the DEFAULT postfix behavior).
DO NOT DO WHAT YOU ARE DOING. Discarding email should NEVER be done, except under extremely limited and special circumstances.
Simply do what Ansgar recommended and your problem evaporates. -- Best regards, Charles
