Hi all
Keep up the GREAT work!
What has been decided: Do I just drop eMail from whomever that has the
wrong reciepent, or do I bounce it ( nouser: No user here by that name
)? In my limited view of things I see that either could have benefits:
Bounce -> the folks that are real and not spammers know that they
screwed up the address.
Drop -> the spammers think that the address works, so the spam lists
grow with invalid names.
Instead of testing stuff on a live server, I have found that I can use
something like this:
virtusertable:
usera at domain1.com realuser
userb at domain1.com realuser
@domain1.com user at testmail.local
usera at domain2.com realuser
userb at domain2.com realuser
@domain2.com user at testmail.local
which sends all the unknown/incorrect ( usuall spam ) mail to the test
machine. Now I can play around without messing with the real thing.
Thanks for the wisdom!
