Hi Wietse,

Sorry I am now totally confused as webmas...@aus-city.com is not
invalid it's this address!

If webmas...@aus-city.com is valid, then the problem is that
your own system is returning mail for webmas...@aus-city.com
as undeliverable.

That problem has NOTHING to do with spam.

Hi Wietse,

Sorry that is incorrect I am not sending out Viagra emails. I look at  
all these bounces and I did not send one of these single emails. My  
SMTP is closed and not an open relay either.

Now you see my questions I am perplexed at how to stop these. Qmail  
somehow dealt with these I never saw them in queue. But I believe  
postfix is a better program!

So they are indeed spam bounces.

Also how many could be being sent out that do get delivered?

But as I also said all these bounces i see they are stuck in queue as  
they are not deliverable.

So can rules like you use for someone sending out an email on the  
server as a user be applied to postmaster of bounces?

Simply test the recipients if invalid reject and it's resolved so  
filer bounces.

Else can a postfix command be issued to delete only undeliverable  
bounces only from mailerdaemon at my server in the queue? I can run  
this by cron.

It seems crazy for me to log in daily into plesk, tick all these in  
the mail queue and delete them manually.

Thanks!
