Okay, at leat I'm not the only one, that is sick of receiving a lot of spam each day... > 31: return "Dmail server permanently rejected message (#5.3.0)"; > 73: return "Zconnection to mail server rejected (#4.4.1)"; > > The first one send to the remote server a "554" (that means: > Transaction failed) the second send "451" (Requested action aborted: > local error in processing) > If a message if reject for RBL, qmail-smtpd sends a "451", so this > could be a good choice. I think 554 would be better. 451 just causes the sending mailserver to try again (4xx is temporary error, where 5xx is permanent error). Returning 554 would cause the mail to be bounced/discared at the sending server - instead of the server trying to re-transmit it several times a day for several days... > I will work it out and I'll add it to my pathed version > <http://xoomer.virgilio.it/j.toribio/qmail-scanner/>, I think that is > better rejecting a mail than just drop it.
