PostFix drop mail to specific account

[kule]

Hi There,

I used the postfix guide on the site which worked a charm!

Only one little niggle, I've currently got a catchall, but I keep getting spam to a specific address - e.g. lots of spam, always going to abc@mydomain.com.

Is there a way I can just block all emails to that address?

Thanks
Luke

Take a look here: http://www.postfix.org/header_checks.5.html

Cheers Falco, I'll take a look - will that work for BCC fields as well?

I'm not sure...

Hmm no it doesn't work for Bcc fields - I'll have to look into another method.

In case anyone wants to try this for blocking emails to a specific address in To: or Cc: fields:

I tried sending a bcc email to myself and received it so I assumed it didn't work. However I haven't had any spam mail since so this must be working with BCC fields too!

1) Add a line to your main.cf

header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/header_checks

2) Create a new file, /etc/postfix/header_checks

/addresstoblock@yourdomain\.com/    DISCARD

3) Restart postfix

/etc/init.d/postfix restart

This will silently accept the email but not deliver it - if you wish you can use REJECT instead of DISCARD and it will send an undelivered message back to the sender.

Cheers
Luke

It can't work with bcc: fields, as there is no such fields in SMTP headers. header_checks do indeed check headers.

Bcc recipient is entered by the protocol with RCPT-TO command, but otherwise bcc recipient is invisible.
