All of my servers run qmail + rblsmtpd + spamd + clamd + simscan. In
order to reduce load on the main server that my users send out of, I'm
experimenting with filtering some domains on an external server. I set it
up like this:
DNS:
domain.com. IN MX 5 filterhost
domain.com. IN MX 10 mainhost
in filterhost, domain.com is in control/rcpthosts and in
control/smtproutes, I have:
domain.com:mainhost
One particular bogus email address was getting hammered, so I put in a
blacklist_to rule in my SA config, restarted spamd, but now, although
bogus@domain.com is triggering the SA rule and those emails are being
detected as spam by filterhost, it still appears to be forwarding it to
mainhost anyway.
Does control/smtproutes come into play BEFORE simscan (which rejects at
the smtp level) does? What about rblsmtpd?
