A spammer is using my mail server. (I know, it shouldn't be an open relay
but I'll get back to this later).
qmail has many messages in the queue. I would like to redirect all the
messages in the queue to a Perl filter. The filter would check if it's one
of the spams. Now:
Valid mail would go
And an additional question: how to temporarily stop all non-local
deliveries? qmail still tries to send out these spam messages it has in the
queue. I would like it to stop, but continue to accept mail (which may be
an answer to this) and do the local deliveries.
Don't send back spam to spammers: their To: emails are usually wrong,
and you'd get back bounces.
The only good choice should be to stop relaying openly.
As for the present queue, you can program a perl script to open
any file in /var/qmail/queue/ recursively, and deletes any file
containing
Spam would either be removed from the queue, or (and I like this better)
sent back to the spammer (his e-mail is in the To: header). He seems to be
connected through dial-up, so there's a chance of annoying him with sending
everything back to him.
You can set up a .qmail-default in ~/alias/ but

I had the same problem once before I configured qmail to be a selective relay.
What I did was, I obtained qmail-handle (available from www.qmail.org) a perl tool
with which you can manipulate the qmail queue and deleted all mails which weren't sent
by one of my local users. Can be a
Don't send back spam to spammers: their To: emails are usually wrong,
and you'd get back bounces.
In this case, the Return-Path and From look wrong (random user with letters
and numbers), but To: looks right: always [EMAIL PROTECTED].
The only good choice should be to stop relaying openly.

Ok. Done. Thanks!
