At last a clear answer !!!
I think I stopped the emoragy
I just stupidly swapped:
<mailet match="RemoteAddrNotInNetwork=127.0.0.1" class="ToProcessor">
<processor> spam </processor>
</mailet>
and:
<mailet match="All" class="RemoteDelivery">
<outgoing> file://../var/mail/outgoing/ </outgoing>
<!-- <outgoing> town://mail-outgoing </outgoing>-->
<delayTime> 21600000 </delayTime>
<maxRetries> 5 </maxRetries>
</mailet>
</processor>
:-(
I hope putting them in the right order again will do... And I hope my ISP
won't get noticed too soon and he will accept my apologies when he
eventually is. ahhhh
Viagra won't spread any further in sordid offices !
: mailservers were originally expected to display relaying behaviour (its a
: cosy cooperative idea), but in the real world spammers abuse relaying to
: mask the true origin of the mail, and the owners of the relays are the
ones
: who get punished.
: Hence no-noe relays for anyone outside their own network.
:
: I suspect your machine is being used as a spam relay. you really need to
: stop it before you get into trouble, but I don't know the best thing to
: suggest.
:
: Most other mailservers offer the option to only relay mail where the smtp
: "MAIL FROM:" address is a local recipient, or to block by ip address.
:
: I see the "nightly" build of James has support for IP filtering, I suggest
: you look at that while you still can. (ISPs can terminate your connection
: for spam abuses)
:
: Good luck etc.
