Thanks for your comments; I believe I've now found the problem: I have Erwin Hoffman's SPAMCONTROL patch installed. The problem was that the spammer's address was being rejected by my badrcptto file when TMDA tried to send the spammer the confirm message: [root:/var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd]$ cat current | tai | grep baccart 2002-10-01 16:32:12 qmail-smtpd: pid 32229 from 216.216.32.170 Invalid RECIPIENT address: MAIL from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, RCPT TO:<b.bestoffers.a-531c59-6238.visca.com*[EMAIL PROTECTED]> etc. I assume the '*' in the spammer's from address somehow matched something in my badrcptto file, which has various old harvested addresses: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc. At any rate, it certainly doesn't seem to be a TMDA or Python problem. I'm Cc'ing this posting to Mr Hoffman, and perhaps he'll be able to shed some light. Finally, I've added "*\**" to my badmailpatterns file, which should prevent any other mailings coming in with asteriscs in the from field. -- All the best (Ad�u-siau), Lou Hevly [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.visca.com _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
