I just switched over from sendmail to postfix. I still use my ISP
provided email for certain things and use fetchmail to retrieve email sent
to that account. Problem is that most of the spam I get comes to me
via that account.
I've set up postfix to reject a lost of email sources, however the emails
that come in via fetchmail get past postfix because they appear to come
from the local host after having been retrieved by fetchmail. So
that means that Spam Assassin has to deal with them, and I'd rather reject
them immediately and not process them at all.
I've looked through the fetchmail options and the FAQ, but I've not been
able to find anything that will do what I want.
BTW I noticed in the FAQ that there are hints on setting fetchmail up with
several different MDAs, but nothing for postfix. Are there any handy
dandy hints on using this combination?
So the question is can fetchmail/postfix be configured to in such
away that Postfix will recognize the true source of the spam and reject
them before any additional processing takes place?
Thx
Pete
