Re: [AMaViS-user] amavis-new / Postfix sends a notification to the spamsender

Daniel,

(this is a late reply to your question)

| I have postfix 2.07, amavis-new and spamassassin 2.52 running and it works
| well as a mailgateway-server. The only problem i have is that amavis (or
| postfix?) sends a notification to the sender if a mail it tagged as spam
| that looks like the following:


from amavisd.conf:
#   With D_BOUNCE, amavisd-new (not MTA) sends DSN (can better explain the
#            reason for mail non-delivery, but unable to reject the original
#            SMTP session). Best suited to reporting viruses, and for Postfix
                            ^^^^^^^^^^^                           ^^^^^^^^^^^
#            and other dual-MTA setups, which can't reject original client SMTP
#            session, as the mail has already been enqueued.

With Postfix it is best to set $final_spam_destiny to D_BOUNCE
(or D_DISCARD), and not to D_REJECT, which causes your MTA
to produce a standard non-delivery notification.

(this applies to amavisd-new-20030314,
previous versions did not provide easy configurability
for this functionality)
