Question.
I have been running a toaster setup for some time. I -love- it. Cheers and Kudos to all who have created such great software.
I do however have a question about messages that seem to be bogging my mail queue.
I have -strict- relay controls in place...and only allow mail relaying from very specific locations. I have run open relay checks from every source I can find...and they all turn up as my system being of a sound config.
I am curious however if there is an appropriate way to manage the large amount of cruft mail.
For example, ########## mx1 ~ # ./qmailctl stat /service/qmail-send: up (pid 9508) 1724814 seconds /service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 9505) 1724814 seconds /service/qmail-smtpd: up (pid 9509) 1724814 seconds /service/qmail-smtpd/log: up (pid 9510) 1724814 seconds messages in queue: 2332 messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0 ##########
I have a pretty low-throughput system, but it shows 2332 messages sitting in the queue. They are all to bogus addresses....from bogus addresses....and go nowhere.

I have written a bash script to locate the files in the queue, and remove them...but I'm wondering how others deal with this.
Am I missing a setting or is there a config someone knows of to clean all this garbage out?
I am running spamassassin, pyzor, razor, dcc, and f-prot installed. While I still need to set my thresholds a little tighter, it catches the vast majority of crap that is destined to my real users....but what about this other noise.
Any suggestions/ideas?
Cheers, -Chris
