    Hi there,
    we have problems with spam from fake sender adresses like fax@domain.tld where domain.tld is our own domain and the given sender does not exist as real mailbox.

    I tried to reject those mails within our exchange configuration, but gave it up.

    Is there a way scrollout can do this for us?
    I mean, whenever scrollout recieves a mail coming from a domain in its route-config, it could first do a "mail to". if the destination replys with "user unknown" can scrollout block this mail?

    regards
    Andreas

    how can i activate that?
    is that the LDAP thingy under route/inbound

    unfortunately scrollout is not at the same site as the destination mailservers.
    i can only connect to smtp-ports of the given exchange.
    don't have access to their DCs

    only chance for me is to verify a user somehow in a smtp-dialogue (e.g. a 'mail to:')
    or i need a feature directly on the exchange, which of cause is aware of any existing or nonexisting mailbox. but i couldnt find a solution

    It does Sender/Recipient validation against SMTP server or LDAP.
    Don't confuse the Sender (Return-Path) address with the address in From field.

    Implement SPF/DKIM in your DNS in order to help Scrollout detect the fake Senders/Froms.
    SPF validates the Sender domain.
    DKIM validates the From domain.

    SPF must have -all to be strict, not ?all.

    Thanks! it seems to be working :)

    BTW I was wondering if CPanel email server will also refuse fake emails with this setup.
