Title: block email to a specifc non existant user
Post by: SageMajor on February 21, 2004, 08:17:21 AM

The email address I was using for my domain regestration is getting tons of spam.  I have my system to forward all invalid email addresses to me.  How can I bounce all those emails to a specific user (domain) without changing my settings to get all the other email address I make up?

Thanks

Get the mailrules rpm from D Mays contrib folder and it will add a panel to server manager where you can enter blocked/allowed users and domains etc.
Works very good.

Title: cant find it
Post by: sagemajor on February 23, 2004, 04:34:42 PM

I can't find the mailrules rpm.  I did find one that installs spam assasin and it will prefix most of my junkmail with *****spam*****   It has a section to add in my junk email but I still get email to that address, any idea what I am doing wrong, or is that the wrong rpm?
I am now getting about 300 spam a day to this email address.

Thanks

Mailrules from Darrell May can be found here:

You didn't say what version of SME server you are running, but I think his contrib is for 5.5 and 5.6.
I don't know if it will work on 6 or not.
I am using it on 5.6 amd it works great.

Also if  Spamassassin is appending Spam***** in the subject, it is doing what is supposed to do. You can set procmail to filter anything with spam in the Subject line to go to a Junkmail folder.

I think the mailrules contrib will do what you are wanting to do.

Has anyone tried Darrell May's mailrules on 6.0?

Yes, it appeared to work OK on a box that also had clamavis, spamassassin and dansguardian running.

I installed qconfirm and ran into some problems which apparently are related to what the mailrules rpm does, so mailrules may not be compatible with all systems depending on what else you instal.
