I'm still not sure how to accomplish the silent dropping you are talking about. As set forth in my previous mail, I'm doing standard rejections on both the primary and backup mail servers with:
It consists of accepting the email and storing on devnul. It is what postfix documents as the action "DISCARD". Be careful to only do it for spam and not for misconfigured servers, though...
From a legal point of view this is something really dangerous to do, at least in Germany. For the following, please keep in mind that IANAL.
I agree absolutely. :-| I don't know if it is illegal in Spain, but I'm fully convinced it is not ethical on a server for other people.
If you are providing a mailserver to others you MUST forward all recieved mails to it's declared recipients. The only thing you can do is mark it as spam so the recipient can /dev/null it automatically. But that must be done by the recipient. Imagine you /dev/null something important for you client ... . Rejected mail is not recieved, so you are out of trouble there.
Absolutely.
Actually even for a private mailserver you might have troubles when /dev/null- ing mails after having ack-ed their recieve, but that's more like claiming you never got the mail...
Right. Many people claim that, anyway... :-( - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
