Hello Randy,
From the FAQ, I think Q9807 is a better approach to get a solution. Of course there
could be another way ;-)
<cut>
Q9807: I have someuser@??? that I only want certain users to be able to mail to.
How do I accomplish this?
A9807: This is a transport:
bounce:
driver = autoreply
from = postmaster@???
to = $sender_address
user = exim
subject = "Re: Your mail to ${local_part}"
text = "You are not allowed to mail to ${local_part}."
This is a director that should come before all the others:
special_user:
driver = smartuser
local_parts = someuser
transport = bounce
senders = !: !lsearch;/list/of/permitted/senders
Note that leading "!:" in senders. It allows the null sender <> to be valid
(i.e. not to match this director). This is necessary, since bounce messages
have null senders. All other permitted senders must be in the file as complete
addresses, including a domain.
</cut>
I did not think deeply about this but I've a feeling that since the response
is to spammers, there may be no need for one. So maybe in the transport you
can use an alias address in the from = nerds@???, where in the aliases
file you have
nerds: /dev/null
because you don't want spammers replying to you, yes?
