SME Server with Barracuda Anti Spam Filter
« on: January 04, 2005, 04:42:10 AM »
I have a barracuda antispam appliance and I would like to turn on the individual user quarantine support but SME server causes all sorts of invalid accounts to be created.  The reason is that qmail accepts e-mail initially regardless of whether or not a given e-mail account exists and only later does it reject the message.  Because of this the barracuda thinks the account is legit an it creates a spam management account and tries to e-mail login info to the user "who doesn't exist" and this message bounces and lands up in my mailbox.  I meed a way to have qmail bounce messages from the begining OR I need a ldap directory that the barracuda can query to see if uses exist or not .  Please advise on how to handle this.

Why don't you just use the Spamassassin contrib by Jesper Knudsen found here:

http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/howtos/howto_29.htm

It has a painless install script and works well. Highly recommended.

Jesper also has a how-to for automatically deleting double-bounce messages:

Good Luck
