Title: RE: Bounce Loops?
Hmmm, I guess I wasn't asking exactly what I want. I need to know how QMail detects a message as being a bounced bounce.
 
Example:
 
Mr.Spammer sends email to my QMail server. The envelope has a non-existent return address. The msg is sent to a non-existent user on my system. So, QMail bounces the message, but that bounce is bounced back to QMail.
 
The problem was that the bounced bounce was sent to "MAILER-DAEMON" at my localhost. Unfortunately that account did not exist, so this msg was bounced. Loop.
 
I'm now dropping all mail to "MAILER-DAEMON" (see my previous question on this list), but I wanted to make sure this is the correct procedure.
 
Thanks again,
 
- Scott
