| Post subject: | QMail: Disabling bounced bounce error mails |
I followed the qmail setup guide at www.qmailrocks.org and my setup has been working fine for over 2 months now. Using that setup, is there a way to disable error Failure notice emails ? I recently deleted an email account that was receiving too much spam. Now my mail server bounces every emails going to that account saying that there was no mailbox by that name. Of course, since it's bouncing back to spammers, 90% of the time the reply address is faked. As a result I keep getting Failure notice mails saying: "Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mail.mydomain.net. I tried to deliver a bounce message to this address, but the bounce bounced!" Is there a way to tell qmail not to warn me about bounced bounce messages ? |

Found this at http://www.chrishardie.com/tech/qmail/qmail-antispam.html: Sounds like you want double-bounces (bounced bounces) to go to a black hole. In your qmail alias dir, make a file .qmail-doublebounce and just put a # in it. Then in the control dir, make a doublebounceto file and put doublebounce in it. That will relieve you of the double-bounce going to the postmaster. |
