R Rulesets( How to disable a mail to a user before scanning)

[Mike Kercher]

I still say this problem needs to be resolved first:

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
553 5.3.5 www.dpi.state.wi.us. config error: mail loops back to me (MX
problem?)
554 5.3.5 Local configuration error

On Redhat systems, adding www.dpi.state.wi.us to /etc/mail/local-host-names
and a restart of the MailScanner service should fix it.

Maybe you have aliases for webmaster & postmaster (perhaps onto root) in
/etc/aliases.  Sendmail (IIRC) applies these aliases on receipt, so by the
time the message gets to MailScanner its envelope is
root at yourserver.yourdomain.com  (you'll still get webmaster in the
headers)
