I have this one particular box that I don't run anything sexy like
SpamAssassin or anti-virus on,
and all I do with it is use it as a mail-reflector using fastforward.
Basically, I have a huge list of aliases in
/var/qmail/alias/aliases.cdb, my .qmail-default is:
|/var/qmail/bin/fastforward -NP /var/qmail/alias/aliases.cdb
It seems like spammers have been sending mail to nonexistent addresses
on this box,
spoofing the senders so that my box tries to deliver the 'bounce' to the
addresses they
are trying to spam.
What I think I want to do, is just blackhole all the bounces so they
absolutely cannot
'reflect' spam off my host. Don't tell them, don't do anything with it,
just send bounces
to /dev/null.
Towards that end, I created a few .qmail files, like '.qmail-devnull',
'.qmail-bounce',
with nothing more than a "#" in the files. I'm not sure that this is
doing what I expected.
Anyone interested in jumping in and telling me how to do what I'm
attempting, slap me
upside the head for trying to do something I shouldn't, and/or offer me
an alternative to
deal with this issue?
