Some jackass(es) sent a bunch of spam with forged From: headers referring to
non-existent accounts on one of my domains. Consequently, I've been getting
about 20,000 bounce messages per day to Erin@honeypot.net,
Michelle@honeypot.net, etc. What's a good way to handle these? If I set up
aliases to /dev/null, then I still have to receive an entire bounce message
before silently discarding it (and even worse, have to watch the
SpamAssassin milter process it before discarding it). If I don't set up any
aliases for those users, then I get bounce messages from my own mailserver
telling me that it couldn't deliver the original bounce messages to the fake
usernames.
Help!
What I really want is something like:
if ($user =3D=3D 'Erin' or $user =3D=3D 'Michelle')
{
send 550 to remote server
do nothing else at all
}
Is this possible? Please save me from being pushed over the line, buying a
paintball gun, and going hunting.
