Hi All,
Not a big one, but a problem I've been wrestling with for a while.
First a little bit of explanation. We have an internal trouble-ticket
system that accepts requests via e-mail (foo at example.com). It's not
really smart and assumes that anything it receives is a valid request,
then after receiving a request it generates a case, then RESPONDS to the
requester with their case number (evil - I didn't write it OK).
Consequently whenever MailScanner finds a virus/spam/bad attachment
which is addressed to our ticketing system a ticket is opened, the
response forwarded to our MailScanner user (postmaster effectively) and
it's a mess to close all these bogus cases.
SO, my question to this group is how (the hell) do I tell MailScanner to
silently drop virus/spam/bad attachments addressed to the ticket system?
No alerts, no warnings, no modifying the message, just drop it.
I've put a few rules in place but obviously these aren't working as
expected. Can someone give me the MailScanner.conf settings I need to
put into a rule set??
Cheers,
James
