Hi list, I have a slightly offtopic question that I hope I can get help with here. I have a home server, running an MTA for my domain. As of the last month or so, I have experienced a huge increase in spam and spam bounces. To combat this, I have upped my MTA's pickyness quite a bit but would like to up it more. Specifically, I would like to reject mail where sender says HELO jaquet.dk and/or where the Received line looks like [EMAIL PROTECTED] (my MTA's Received stamps are of the form [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Spammers like to use these to 'fake' their way through.
This brings me to the point, because it seems like mozilla and thunderbird (my GF uses one, I use the other) grabs the domain information they use in their SMTP exchanges from the sender email address. So, when my GF sends from work via their MTAs to my home server as [EMAIL PROTECTED], that mail will run afoul of this rule since the first Received will look like Received: from jaquet.dk (XXXX) by mail.XXX.dk (Postfix) with ESMTP id 75FE532CD4C etc even though her laptop at the point of sending isnt connected to my network. So, the question. Do anyone know how to fix this? I found a bugzilla entry for this, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68877, with a final comment that this have been committed to tbird 0.6 and mozilla 1.7 in 2005. I am running tbird 1.5.0.7 and still sees this. Any clues? Thanks, Rasmus -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
