Hello, I've got a problem with bounce messages that are being returned to sender. When the address on the next mailserver does not exist, xmail generates a bounce message.

This is my server.tab:

CODE

"RootDomain" "mydomain.nl"
"SmtpServerDomain" "mydomain.nl"
"POP3Domain" "mydomain.nl"
"HeloDomain" "mydomain.nl"
"PostMaster" "postmaster@mydomain.nl"
"ErrorsAdmin" "postmaster@mydomain.nl"
"RemoveSpoolErrors" "0"
"NoSenderBounce" "1"
"NotifyTryPattern" ""
"MaxMTAOps" "16"
"ReceivedHdrType" "0"
"FetchHdrTags" "+X-Deliver-To,+Received,To,Cc"
"MaxMessageSize" "6000"
"AllowNullSender" "0"
"DefaultSmtpPerms" "MRVZ"

Thanks

Thanks for the response. I'm going to test this setting, but this is what the manual says:

CODE

[NoSenderBounce]

When building bounce messages, use the null SMTP sender ('MAIL FROM:<>') instead of the 'PostMaster' address. This will affect only the SMTP sender, while the message RFC822 headers will still contain the correct From: header.

I did see the option too, and "NoSenderBounce" is what I want. But when I read the manual, the explanation didn't make sence.

This is what I find in the XMail Queue Manager. The Senders address is incorrect, probably because of the space after the address. But why is this mail being generated? That shoud not happen right?

Mail From: <stannous@uymail.com >

Remove the space after the recipient address and check again. XQM's SLOG file to this message would be helpful. Trying this server manually shows that it probes the sender against several antispam rules. So If your domain does not match all criteria, the connection will be dropped:

This gives you the recipient's MX:
http://www.checkdns.net/quickcheck.aspx?do....com&detailed=1

This is a telnet session with this server:

CODE

$ telnet uymail-com.mr.outblaze.com 25

Just to be sure, I don't want this message to be sent, because it is spam. I want to prevent bounce messages from being sent back to the spammer.

This is the SLOG from XQM:

CODE

I see ... clear ErrorsAdmin and TempErrorsAdmin in server.tab.

QUOTE

[ErrorsAdmin]
The email address that receives notification messages for every
message that has had delivery errors. If it is empty (allowed), the
notification message is sent to the sender only.

[TempErrorsAdmin]
The email address that receives notification for temporary delivery
failures. In case it's empty the notification message is sent to the
sender only.

Newbie Group: Members Posts: 19 Member No.: 2591 Joined: 5-July 07	Hello, Just so that I understand... what is the problem with 'bounced' messages being returned to the message originator when the recipient address is rejected at the destination mail server? I would think that this is reasonable behaviour. But, the reason I ask this question is that I do not understand the reply... which I hope will add to my general knowledge. The answer was... "NoSenderBounce" "0" This should mean, when xMail Server creates 'bounced NDR messages' use a NULL Sender Address. -- So for clarification, what is the problem that you are experiencing??

MaartenJB	Posted: Feb 21 2008, 12:47 PM
Junior Member Group: Members Posts: 30 Member No.: 2280 Joined: 5-October 06	Sorry for the VERY late response. The reason why I don't want the mailserver to send a notification error is because this would let the spammer know the message is received. This causes the spammer to send even more spam. The second problem is, the spammer can use an address that is valid, but not his own. The "victum" the address belongs to receives all the notification errors. In this case my mailserver is generating a lot of "spam", and this can get me blacklisted. I tried al the suggestions mentioned, but none seem to work.

I see that spammers are using bogus return adresses just to waste bandwidth and processor time. Regards, Fredje

Today, SpamCop decided to black list my server because it sends out bounce message as it should.

If this can help anyone, I have just finished my script to prevent XMAIL to send any bounce message except when RCPT is 2 addresses that I have specified in the code, it may not be perfect but it works.

filters.out.tab
