Is there a way to prevent SpamFilter from sending back rejection messages? Thanks in advance for your help. Roderick |

Roderick, The only time SpamFilter actually sends an error email back to the sender is when the your destination SMTP server rejects an email SpamFilter forwards to it. In that case SpamFilter will email back the sender with the error message reported by the dest. SMTP server. For all other rejections due to blacklists or any kind of anti-spam filter that kicks in, SpamFilter simply replies to the commands the remote sender's SMTP server issues. The error messages that are sent are customizable from the SpamFilter's GUI. Please note that these are simply error responses to commands, they are not emails back to the sender. Roberto F. |

I would like to add that MOST, but not all, mail servers take that rejection code and THAT mail server generates a bounce message for it's customers .... with the not so surprising exception of MS Exchange which chokes and barfs up a useless message to it's users. Dan S.
