Thanks for the polite RTFM 

I must admit I haven't read it in a while.

No scare at all. Let's wave the magic wand...

Done.

Take a look at the readme.html. below is the description for one entry.There are a few more (but not the keywords...) that allow the use of aNULL option to bypass the quarantine.

  • Blacklisted Domains - You can keep a file with additional Domains that you want to blacklist (based on the MAIL FROM field) by entering them below below. Enter one domain per line, wildcards (* and ?, same rules as DOS wildcards) are allowed. You can also use Regular Expressions (RegEx). If the file does not exist it will be created. The file is reloaded every minute. The contents of the file will be loaded in the memo box, allowing you to make changes to the file. This list supports the :NULL option to send emails in a black hole. If an entry is in the form domain1.com:NULL it will cause all emails from domain1.com to be accepted and then sent to NULL right away. Such emails will not cause NDRs, they will not be quarantined, they will not be seen by the users. If an entry is in the form domain1.com:NoNDR such emails will not cause NDRs as in the DoNotSendNDROnQuarantine parameter in the ini file.

Sounds interesting.

How about modifiying the blacklists so to allow quarantine selection on each line.

eg keyword blacklist: (keyword, quarantine)

blockthis_dont_quarantine, false
blockthis_do_quatantine, true

Roberto, hope this didn't scare you?

No .. The RCPT TO.  I am seeing a huge increase in attempts to send to things like ***dan@mydomain.com  and yes, they get blocked but also quarantined.

We check for the "%" character and block that since some older SMTPservers have bugs/security holes that cause them to be open relays ifthey see that. However for the "*" that should only cause anon-delivery, since most likely you don't have a user with the "*" inthe email address.

...or are you referring to a sender with the "*" in the address?

Wish # 3271:

I would love an option to flat out drop any message whose email address contains a "*" .... or, even more better (love that English) doen't not meet RFC.

Regards,
