You have a catch-all address and that is what it will do. The only thing you could do is create aliases for all the addresses you use and remove the catch-all. </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/configuring-postfix-to-bounce-mail#post-443 Wed, 16 Jan 2008 11:13:56 +0000 bluewomble 443@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>But the problem is that I don;t currently have an alias for<br /> <code><a href="mailto:thisaddressgetslotsofspam@mydomain.com">thisaddressgetslotsofspam@mydomain.com</a> --&gt; <a href="mailto:myactualaddress@mydomain.com">myactualaddress@mydomain.com</a>.</code></p> <p>I only have the general rule that anything @mydomain.com goes to <a href="mailto:myactualaddress@mydomain.com">myactualaddress@mydomain.com</a>, va the alias:<br /> <code>@mydomain.com --&gt; <a href="mailto:myactualaddress@mydomain.com">myactualaddress@mydomain.com</a></code></p> <p>So I already have a general alias that means that *@mydomain.com goes to me, I need a specific rule that just bounces all mail sent to <a href="mailto:thisaddressgetslotsofspam@mydomain.com">thisaddressgetslotsofspam@mydomain.com</a>... </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/configuring-postfix-to-bounce-mail#post-442 Tue, 15 Jan 2008 21:26:45 +0000 Richard 442@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>Just remove the alias and the mail address does not exist anymore and emails get bounced...</p> <p>Nice idea by the way! </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/configuring-postfix-to-bounce-mail#post-441 Mon, 14 Jan 2008 16:49:17 +0000 bluewomble 441@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>I've used postfix.admin to set up my domain so that @mydomain.com gets sent to me... I've done this with an alias:</p> <p>@mydomain.com --&gt; <a href="mailto:myactualaddress@mydomain.com">myactualaddress@mydomain.com</a>.</p> <p>I use this setup so that every site I set up an account for gets given a different email address, e.g.<br /> <a href="mailto:diymacserver@mydomain.com">diymacserver@mydomain.com</a></p> <p>the idea behind this is that if I get lots of spam sent to a particular address I can just start to bounce the mail sent to that address...</p> <p>Anyway, I now have an address that I want to bounce (because lots of spam goes there), but can't work out how to use postfix.admin to bounce specific addresses... Basically I want to keep my general alias:<br /> @mydomain.com --&gt; <a href="mailto:myactualaddress@mydomain.com">myactualaddress@mydomain.com</a>.</p> <p>but also have a rule that says that mail to the alias:</p> <p><a href="mailto:thisaddressgetslotsofspam@mysomain.com">thisaddressgetslotsofspam@mysomain.com</a> --&gt; bounce back to sender</p> <p>Any ideas on how to do this? </p>
