Hi, I'm trying to find a way to blackhole email sent to a particular recipient
Background: We have an email-based ticketing system which replies with updates to the sender's address when a ticket is created. The origin of the emails that create these tickets is an automated system of a client, and they do not want these replies, but they won't change the sender address. Hence I have to find a way of stopping these emails. Our ticketing system will not allow us to delete or modify the recipient address without breaking functionality (this was my first plan of attack) All of the suggestions for blackholing email from what I can see apply to mail that is handled by delivery agents, not for outgoing mail, which makes sense. One thing I have been able to do is rewrite the address using /etc/postfix/generic. Would the best way then be to create a fake domain, and then make that a local domain in my Postfix configuration, so it would be delivered locally, and then blackhole that domain via /etc/postfix/virtual and creating a /dev/null alias? Or is there a more elegant way? Thanks for any suggestions. Kind regards, Cam
