I've got a variety of entries in the router used to route spam domains to Error. I also have a particular email address, say <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, that I also want to block. So my router entry is:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>=error
From the SIMS docs (edited):
Special AddressesIn other words, you cannot declare a foreign address like <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> as local by enclosing it in angle brackets.
If the domain name part of an address is ERROR, or if the domain name part is empty, and the local name part is ERROR, the message is directed to the Local delivery module that rejects the message generating the "Illegal Address" error report.
Example:
bad.company.com = error
<junk> = error
With these records entered, the Server will reject all mail sent to the domain bad.company.com, as well as all mail sent to the local account junk.
All that you can route to error is an entire domain OR a local address.
The best you can do is:
hotmail.com = error
which will have a LOT of collateral damage.
Although the docs say "reject all mail sent to the domain" it does actually reject mail from the domain based on the return path.
Again from the docs (edited):
Verifying Return-Path Addresses
When the Verify Return-Path option is selected in the SMTP Service Settings, the SMTP module parses the message Return-Path (Mail From) addresses, and the module refuses to receive a message if:
* the Return-Path domain name is an empty string (no domain specified);
* the Return-Path address is routed (via the Server Router) to the ERROR address;
