I'm getting more and more frustrated with email zines sent
from [what I think are] misconfigured mail servers. I'd like
to make sure I'm right before I follow up with the offending
postmasters.
An MX record must contain a domain name, not an IP address, right?
How do you effectively deal with ezines that have bad envelope
senders? I've come across many that use the default Return-Path:
even though there's no MTA listening there, nor is there a
valid MX record.
Note, I can't just block this mail because it is important
to my users. The problems arise when a user leaves or
subscribes with a misspelled address. The bounces can't
get back to the sender and so they don't get automagically
unsubscribed until I deal with it manually.
BTW, I'm using a stock qmail 1.0.1 installation.
Regards.
Lenny
