Bounced email

[MGonz]

Hello,

I am getting alot of email for accounts that don't exist on my server. The only bad thing is that they are all getting bounced into my root mailbox. How can I just get them deleated and not have to empty my gig a day's worth of a mailbox?

Also, how can I set it up with spamassassin to just deleat the spam that comes in? I read it can be done with procmail but as far as i'm aware, Scalix doesn't use procmail.

You can set a rule on the mailbox to delete all incoming mail. A bit brute-force, though.

Also, how can I set it up with spamassassin to just deleat the spam that comes in? I read it can be done with procmail but as far as i'm aware, Scalix doesn't use procmail.

Specifiy the -r parameter when you start spamass-milter (on my machine in /etc/sysconfig/spamass-milter).

From the man page:

Code: Select all

     -r nn   Reject scanned email if it greater than or equal to nn.  If -1,
             reject scanned email if SpamAssassin tags it as spam (useful if
             you are also using the -u flag, and users have changed their
             required_hits value).

             For example, if you usually use procmail to redirect tagged
             email into a separate folder just in case of false positives,
             you can use -r 15 and reject flagrant spam outright while still
             receiving low-scoring messages.

Hello,

I know i can set the mailbox to deleate all messages that comes into it, but the thing is, I have it set up to recieve error messages. I don't want email for JohnDoe@mydomain.com to go there when there is no John Doe with an account on my server.
