Even better!
I look forward to the new script. Does it require a new spamass-milter, or that I upgrade any other component?
Since I'm now dropping spam above 15, what are the implications?Mail from our ISP arrives on the server via pop3 with fetchmail, spamass-milter/clamav/and sendmail deliver it to local user accounts on the server, users then query their accounts via qpopper with outlook.
The filtering server does not resolve with DNS, I seem to be getting bounces from the bounces that the -r 15 sends.
I'm attaching several of these messages.The bounce of bounced messages appear in my root mailbox, and some seem not to score as spam with SA...
Should I make this machine resolve? I can't give it reverse DNS --> It's a machine on an internal network, and the IP is not static.
Is there something I can do to not send the bounce (but still drop the message), so when they bounce my bounce, I don't get it...
Is this expected? It seems to be useless traffic. And provides spammers bits of informatiom.
Is it still a benefit receiving these bounces compared to just receiving all the spam (not using the -r flag).
