Hello,

I've created a spam gateway using

Qmail-1.03
Qmail-scanner-1.20st
SpamAssassin 2.60
ClamAV

And I currently receive notifications for:

Disallowed breakage found in header name - potential virus
Disallowed MIME comment found in header name - potential virus

The problem is that we receive a lot of these from Spammers who send from
invalid email addresses.  So on top of the notification, I also receive a
double-bounce.

Any suggestions on how to stop the notifications ... or should I just turf
the doublebounces and put up with the notifications?

Maybe you could look at curbing stuff that would result in double-bounces in the first place. For example, I've curbed a lot of my double-bounces by using some of qmail-ldap's builtin utilities. It has patches enabling verification of recipient address, return MX check, and sender email address sanity check. Anything that doesn't meet these I return a 55x to in the SMTP conversation.


Maybe you'll find something for your setup. If it's not qmail-scanner's notifications triggering them, it'll be something else. Just a thought.
