Hello,
I am using exim with a LDAP server containing the mail users entries (email
addresses, user names and maildir directories).
I have setup a rewrite lookup and it is working fine :
Recently I noticed that sending email to '*@company.fr' (the real *
character) makes an expansion in that ldap search to all user entries. Thus
all people receive 1 copy of the mail sent to '*@company.fr'. I had not
thought about this and this is dangerous because anybody outside can send
mail and spam to all the users.
How do I prevent this so that email addresses like '*@company.fr' or
'*.*@company.fr' get rejected with an error message ?
