Does the exchange server you're sending through store mail for the schwab.com domain? if so, then this explains why. -jesse At 22:01 -0700 20/4/2001, Ketan Bajaj wrote: I have been seeing a problem: when i sent an email to an incorrect user at a correct domain, the qmail logs show that the message has been accepted.

user masquerading
I am trying to solve the following problem, but with no result... - I have a local newsserver (inn) on my linux machine - I write a message on a moderated newsgroup - innd invokes in.nnrpd, which sends the message via smtp to my local smtpd server (qmail). - I am not always connected to the internet, so I use a separate queue for outgoing mail, as specified in the qmail FAQ. - When I try to send the message with serialmail, the remote server rejects it because my domain doesn't exist: Apr 19 20:32:32 attila postfix/smtpd[21789]: reject: RCPT from smtp1.libero.it[193.70.192.51]: 450 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Sender address rejected: Domain not found; from=[EMAIL PROTECTED] to=[EMAIL PROTECTED] In fact, voyager.zar.it is my local domain, used in my local network. - So I tried to set up user masquerading for the user "news", following the qmail FAQ, but with no result. If I try to send an email message from the news login, everything works fine, but if in.nnrpd tries to send a message, the user masquerading does not work: it seems that in.nnrpd is not able to read the environmental variables. So: what should I do...? Thank you! -- http://digilander.iol.it/42

How can I do cause now everyone can use these aliases like [EMAIL PROTECTED] which is a spam hole . Thanks , Nissim .

Once a message has been queued and processed, it'll be bounced if there is no such address. Are you questioning why qmail-smtpd doesn't reject the message right away, during the SMTP dialog, rather than accepting the message at first and then later bouncing it? Or are you saying that the message is never bounced? If the former, the answer is that that's how qmail works. If the latter, then you have a .qmail-default file that will catch any address rather than bounce mail sent to non-existent addresses. Chris

Could he do something like use a .qmail file to pipe the message into a script that would examine headers and then only deliver if the message was from the local domain?

Re: incorrect_user@correct_domain accepted
i think i haven't been clear enough in explaining the problem... again, A (local smtp server)B (remote smtp server) B is at domain schwab.com, about which i do not know anything, whether it has qmail, sendmail, exchange or anything else. 1. when A is setup as qmail, and remote address is incorrect@B there is no bounce from B and the message is accepted at B. I see this at the qmail logs on A. 2. when A is Microsoft exchange (with MUA as Outlook / outlook express), the email sent to incorrect@B bounces back immediately. so my rephrased question is why the behaviour of B is not consistent, whatever A is. I just checked this: sent an email from hotmail (which also uses qmail) to incorrect@B, and the email bounced back from B! so could it be that i have set up qmail at A incorrectly (case1 above), it don't think it should matter how the .qmail-default is set up at A. or maybe i should go back on Monday and check the qmail logs at A again, and see again if there's bounce message appearing now.! thanks, Ketan - Original Message - From: "Chris Johnson" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "Ketan Bajaj" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, April 21, 2001 11:41 AM Subject: Re: incorrect_user@correct_domain accepted On Fri, Apr 20, 2001 at 10:01:45PM -0700, Ketan Bajaj wrote: I have been seeing a problem: when i sent an email to an incorrect user at a correct domain, the qmail logs show that the message has been accepted.
