Hi,
Sorry to follow up on my own mail, but I suspect you must be as confused
by my post as I was before I wrote it ;-)
I am running into something I don't understand, so I come here for help :-)
I am trying to bounce certain mail (identified spam) from a router. In
this particular case, I can't reject the mail during SMTP, because one
of my users doesn't want this kind of mail rejected, while others do.
So, in this case, the mail is scanned, but never rejected. I have a file
that contains all the domains that want to keep their spam:
domainlist spam_domains = CONFDIR/spam_domains
My first router looks like this:
bounce_spam:
driver = redirect
domains = !+spam_domains
allow_fail
condition = ${if >{$spam_score_int}{65}{1}{0}}
data = :fail: This message was classified as
SPAM
Now, while testing this setup, I see something I don't get. The
spam_domains file contains on this single line:
tinuzz.com
Now, I expect mail that is addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to never be
bounced by this router. However, it is:
2006-03-03 12:07:12 1FF87Z-0007sS-5z ** [EMAIL PROTECTED]
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> R=bounce_spam: This message was classified as SPAM
In a later router, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is redirected to [EMAIL PROTECTED],
and sipo.nl is not in +spam_domains, so that part I do understand. Even
so, if I put sipo.nl in spam_domains, the mail is passed, as expected.
What I _don't_ understand is, how the message even gets to that second
router. It should just be failed by the router above en the redirection
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] should never take place. What am I missing here?
Alright, that didn't make sense. I wasn't thinking straight.
The mail should *not* be failed by this router, and in fact it isn't.
Instead, routing is passed on, and in a later router the mail is
redirected to [EMAIL PROTECTED], which is then routed from the start. This
domain is not in +spam_domains, so the bounce_spam router handles the
message and bounces it.
I see that now :-)
So, what I actually want, is that the "bounce_spam" router only acts on
addresses that are not the result of another redirect router. Is there a
way of saying that? I haven't looked for it in the docs. Will do that
now, but hints are welcome, of course.
Thanks,
Martijn.
Thanks for any advice,
Martijn.
