So I've been tasked with researching an issue with the mail server at work.
We use Spamassassin and at present, it's not blocking some pretty obvious
spam, largely from the domain qq.com. Basically email is slipping through,
being bounced back at the end receiving server, then our server tries to
bounce back to qq.com, which doesn't exist at that point and we get a
bounce
message. Hundreds of these suckers are coming through daily.
As John said, absolutely blocking a whole domain is best done before
SpamAssassin, in the MTA (in your case that looks like Postfix.)
In fact, all of John's reply was good. There's one thing he was probably too
polite to mention though...
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.2 (2011-06-06) on <ourserver>
Eh, no, I don't particularly focus on that detail...
Good point, though.
