Hi,
we are looking for an additional method to avoid spam mail.
Blacklists (are already set) only help when a "bad" server sends mail, anti-relaying does not help when a message is sent to my own internet domain.
so the server accepts the mail, then sees that there is no such user in the address book and tries to send back the message.
this is what causes a lot of traffic (if the sender was an infected user with existing address) and additionaly a lot of sending attempts and dead mail with all the non-existing addresses.
so for that case we are looking for a functionality
* to enforce the server FIRST to see if the adressee exists in his directory before accepting a mail or if not possible
*simply to turn off that notifications, the sending message back.
for the first possibility I wonder if the
"SMTP inbound controls, the item "Allow messages intended only for the following internet addresses"
is helpful, if I add a group with all users.
I don't know if the server goes through it BEFOER oder AFTER accepting the message.
or is there a better way?
is there a way to switch off the the Router functionality of generating a failure message to the sender?
