Dale and Scott, I solved this by using xmail as the secondary mail server AND having a nightly script that gathered the valid email address from the primary MTA and created ./cmdalias/domain.com/xxxx.tab files with "smtprelay"[tab]"mail.domain.com" inside. Other than that xmail is set for no relay, there is nothing in domains.tab or in ./domains/*
Now I get in smtp session rejects (EAVAIL) for that sort of rubbish you mention. I also implemented greylisting on the 2nd MX too. However an integrated database would be a big plus. I recommend leaving xmail as it is. (thanks Davide!!)

Actually, no, I don't need to know as it could never happen to be a mis-type. These are secondary MX servers that ONLY receive mail and relay to our primary server, they're never used for sending mail, they exist only as backup incoming servers. So, the only messages that are created are response messages back to the originator of an undeliverable (99.9999999% of the time this will be a spammer), which is fine but then when a NDR is received back (in response of my sending a NDR to a non-existent spammer sending account) I don't want to see it/deal with it. So, if [EMAIL PROTECTED] sends me a message and my server received it it is for a person not on my mail system, my system sends back a NDR to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well, typically [EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't truly exist so the receiving domain (if it exists) sends back a NDR to the postmaster account which in reality I don't care to see. I'm hoping that I'm explaining it correctly, it's kind of confusing I guess. Davide Libenzi wrote: > On Tue, 6 Mar 2007, Dale Qualls wrote: > > >> But is there anyway to dump them?
