It appears that my email address is now in regular use as a 'From:'
address in spam and I am starting to get significant clots of bounces as
a result. My filter doesn't seem to do anything...
I have an exim filter in place for the email account and the relevant
section looks like this:
# Exim filter
if error_message then finish endif
#
if $h_x-spam-flag: is "YES" then
save spam
finish
endif
if $h_from: contains "mailer-daemon" and
$message_body does not contain "post.tobit.co.uk" then
save spam
finish
endif
# mailbox folder filtering happens below
----------------------------
When tested with the (no longer) attached example it gives:-
/usr/sbin/exim -v -bf .forward < /tmp/msg.4
Sender taken from "From " line
Return-path taken from "Return-path:" header line
Return-path = <>
Sender = postmaster@???
Recipient = djk@???
Testing Exim filter file ".forward"
Condition is false: error_message
Condition is true: $h_x-spam-flag: is YES
Save message to: spam
Finish
Filtering set up at least one significant delivery or other action.
No other deliveries will occur.
-------------------------------
The log entry for the example below is:
2004-01-21 10:58:01 1AjG3W-0008JG-7Y <= <> H=mail-4.tiscali.it [195.130.225.150] P=esmtp S=44748 id=400CE0E10010F81D@???
2004-01-21 10:58:01 1AjG3W-0008JG-7Y => djk <djk@???> R=localuser T=local_mbx
2004-01-21 10:58:01 1AjG3W-0008JG-7Y Completed
-------------------------------
The headers are for a standard bounce with 'no recipient'.
The problem is that it doesn't work when used in anger on real,
incoming, mail as you can see from the log.
