I guess I'm still not being clear. There are 120K emails a day coming
to INVALID EMAIL ADDRESSES THAT NEVER EXISTED. Its not a case of a user being
fickle, its a case that they are emailing addresses that NEVER EVER ACTUALLY
EXISTED. About 1 ever 3/4 of a second. So running them through ANYTHING is
counter productive since , atleast in my eyes, if you try to email an email
address that never existed... ITS SPAM. Its not things the user ever
sees/knows,
I see delivery attempts to invalid email address regularly. They get
rejected at the SMTP level. Running such messages through
SpamAssassin doesn't make sense. Your previous message mentioned
that you wanted to report these "spam" messages and my reply was
based upon that.
etc. I have in my sendmail virtusertable:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bingo
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bango
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bongo
[EMAIL PROTECTED] irving
[EMAIL PROTECTED] nobody
The above is incorrect as there is still a processing overhead. I
suggest using:
@example.com error:nouser User unknown
