Title: Reject message
Post by: filloweb on July 15, 2008, 07:46:44 PM

HI.

I've enabled RHNBL and DNSBL in qpmstpd.

When a right mail was rejected for a blacklist listing, my SME send to the sender an alert e-mail ?

Thanks a lot.

You would not normally want to do this, as the "from" address in spam is always spoofed, which means it is NOT the real sender, so all you are doing is sending more useless email across the net.

The RBL tests use the IP address of the sender (which is real we hope) to test against, but there is no reliable mechanism that I know of to send a reject email back to an Ip address.  The sending mailserver will get a reject message as part of the smtp protocol.
