Hello,

sorry to respond so late. I thought my topic had fallen into oblivion since nobody answered :-)

I meanwhile found a solution. In making a test, I made a mistake. ;-)
Here are the steps for this error (in the "main.cf" of PostFix) :
- I removed my domain name to "mydestination"
- Then I added "alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases" (since I did not have)

But of course, since we use SYMPA, not to do. This caused a blockage of emails sent from personal mail boxes.
So, I think the spammer received error messages and stop this automatically.

Of course I put the settings as before and everything works fine.

I hope this can help ...

Sincerely,

Hello everyone.

I have a small problem for a few days.

SYMPA trying to send emails automatically every seconde and then places the
message in the folder "/bad".
But that does not come from us.
See the type of log:
Aug 26 09:08:55 ks3001409 sympa[27810]: main::DoFile() Processing
/address@concealed ;
sender: <address@concealed>#012 ; message-id:

Aug 26 09:08:56 ks3001409 sympa[27810]: Moving bad file
address@concealed to bad/

(this every second, again and again ...)


I purge the folder "/bad" regularly, because it takes several Giga on the
server.

I try to make a "Deny from" but it is not working.


Someone would have an idea?
I have the same problem.

SYMPA trying to send emails automatically every seconde and then places the
message in the folder "/bad".
Not this way. Sympa sends "list not available" message to some
address@concealed, that server replays "Mail can not be delivered",
sympa places this message into /bad folder and send back again "list not
available" message. And so on.

I do not know how to correctly fix it in sympa (may be I have some wrong
configuration) but for now I from time to time add add
address@concealed that causes this problem into header_checks

/^From:.*postmaster\@ncld\.onmicrosoft\.com.*/ REJECT

in postfix.

This is an ugly hack, but it helps to stay alive :-)
