Problems with spam
« on: July 27, 2005, 07:32:31 PM »
My server stops delivering messages (localy). The problem is that I´m getting a lot of spam (of course the messages are from domains that does not exist and to users that does not exist either), and the qmail program tries to send a bounce message, but he coudn´t deliver it because the domain does no exist, and the qmail program hangs because of the aumont of this kind of messages that are in the remote queue. (I think that this is what is going on on my server).
When this happens, the server sotps working (webmail, pop3, ), everything stops.
I´v got Avmailgate installed and spamassasin.
What I would like to do is that qmail do nothing when he recives a mail that is not for a valid user.
