I wanted to ask the group about what they thought about an autoresponse on a spamblocking e-mail account?
Right now, we implemented spamblocking, thanks to David Raistrick's(on this list) help modifying the qmail-scanner-queue.pl this blocked spam goes to an account on our server, called spambox. this spambox is nothing more than an e-mail account that spam is redirected to, if it is flagged as spam. now, it is working great!, we have stopped about 85% of all spam getting to our users... but, there has been 1% of blocked spam that is from our users for various reasons...false positives, html mail, forwarded junk, etc... We had one particular user, that inadvertantly has had all of their mail blocked for the past week, without any notice whatsoever that there was any problem, and it was just the way she was composing mail, along with the way outlook was set up... A simple autoresponse on this mailbox would have done the trick...notifying her her mail was being blocked as spam... but, the for the other 99% of blocked spam, would this autoresponse create a massive mail loop, crashing our system, or would qmail handle the bounces o.k.? I am not concerned about the extra traffic this would generate, I don't think we would even notice the overhead on the mail system... What does everyone think?
