Title: postmaster@DOMAIN
Post by: alt-network on February 28, 2007, 12:03:19 AM

I have a question on the postmaster email account.

The issues is that I am having people now sending spam to the postmaster email account.

Is there a way to set the postmaster email account to only receive only local emails?

Has anyone been having the same issues?

Thanks..

Yep, I've got exactly the same problem.

At the moment, I've got a dummy spam user, and I forward postmaster to that through Pseudonyms.  I then setup a rule in my mail client to delete anything in the spam account automagically.

I'm looking for a better way myself.

I know that I'm supposed to monitor the postmaster account, and keeping it is a 'good thing' (tm) but I'd like to reject all mail to it.

I'd imagine that if you go under the hood to the config files you can probably disable it, but I haven't had time to investigate.

Don.
