If the postmaster account is filling up with messages about trying to notify the original sender of the message and THAT's bouncing back (remember that 99.999% of spammers will spoof an address), then there's a sendmail configuration option for catching "double bounced" messages. Bounce 1: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tries to Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] - sendmail tries to notify [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bounce 2: when the MAILER-DAEMON message bounces from Hotmail that joe_spammer is not a valid account What I have on my system is a mail alias to 'cat' a message to /dev/null and point my double-bounce setting to that alias: /etc/sendmail.cf: O [EMAIL PROTECTED] -id ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by OSDN developer relations Here's your chance to show off your extensive product knowledge We want to know what you know.
