How to prevent ezmlm from bouncing spam?
« on: May 20, 2006, 11:11:05 PM »
I run a small server with a couple of ezmlm mailing lists. Lately I have begun to receive a lot of spam mail, sent not only to mylist@myserver.com, but also to mylist-subscribe@myserver.com and mylist-unsubscribe@myserver.com. As I understand it, ezmlm acts politely and bounces these messages back to "the sender" with appropriate error messages, but in most cases "the sender" is an innocent mail address which now receives the original (spam) email. I have spamassassin installed and running nicely, but this does apparently not prevent ezmlm from "bouncing" the spam. What can I do to avoid or limit this problem?
