P> I'm not sure that I can make qmail do anything else. These are spams P> sent to non-existent addresses at my domain, being caught by P> .qmail-default. Question... why do you have a .qmail-default file to begin with? If you have proper namespace or .qmail- files for your users, it is not necessary at all... all would then be bounced. Or if you wish just to drop mail coming in to .qmail-default, just put a # in it... P> What I am going to do is clear out the Maildir daily P> instead of monthly, though.

I would never think of collecting them at all, not even allow them in. There are several techniques just to block them at SMTP negotiation all together, so they don't even enter your system... -- Gary
