Hi all,
I have configure Fetchmail 5.9.6 on OpenBSD 2.9. I am using it in
conjunction with Postfix. I have created an access database with various
senders addresses which we want to block as spam. I have intered
"REJECT" into the database instead of a custom error code and message.
In fetchmailrc I have the following options;
set nobounce
set nospambounce
as defaults plus a typical configuratio for a Multi-Drop mailbox.
The protocol being used by fetchmail is IMAP and connects to an IMAP Rev1
server.
When fetchmail forwards a retrieved message to the smtp listener Postifix
reject the senders address in the header with the following error;
554 <spammer(_at_)some(_dot_)domain>: Sender address rejected
Fetchmail the proceeds to bounce the message to the postmaster.
My understaning of the manual pages and the FAQ is that fetchmail will not
attempt to bounce a recognised SPAM rejection from the smtp server. The
behaviour I am seeing seems to be conrtary to this.
Is my understanding and expection that no bounce message will be created
correct, or hav I missed something here.
Cheers,
Larry.
