If you mean what I think you mean (sending a note to remote accounts that their mail was rejected), this is not a good idea. Mostly because you can't be sure that the envelope sender is really the true sender. If you want to refuse mail from certain addresses, do so at the very first part of your local delivery chain (usually the smtp daemon - postfix in your case as it seems), _not_ at some later point in the chain (like a post-queue filter with postfix which your amavis seems to be). Otherwise, you will create backscatter (bounces directed at people which are not responsible for sending the offensive mail in the first place). regards, Sven ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
