Yes, I realize that this isn't strictly a procmail Q, but since .forwards
are often intertwined with the proper invocation of procmail, I'm hoping
someone will have a quick answer.
Basically, I've got accounts all over the place, and some I use only for
net access -- never for email. I was going to .forward to /dev/null on
one, but I'd rather it actually bounced messages (in case someone sent
valid mail there, they'd at least know that I never read the
message). Note that on these other systems, I am not sysadm, so cannot
simply alias out the address.
I'm not concerned about mail loops: a good bounce will come from
postmaster, so if I were to bounce a forged message, which results in a
reply from the sender to the effect that the remove account or domain
doesn't exist, my account won't be getting the message -- postmaster will.
Is there a standard way to do this from a .forward?
Yes, I realize I can just make a malformed .forward, which would achieve
much the same result - except that the sender might get the impression that
I _accidentally_ broke something.
