Subject: [exim] Rejecting of non-local-generated undeliverable bounces
Hi all! One of our servers work as mail relay for our customers(we are small ISP). All ougoing SMTP-traffic is redirected to our relay becouse of Netsky/Mydoom/Bagle. Some customers have their own SMTP-servers, and some of them send bounces when an error occured(account doesn't exist for example). Becouse of redirection these bounces relay throught our server, and Exim working on it doesn't actually recognise them as bounces. So, if the original message is spam, sender address is a fake, and if bounce undeliverable permanently it discarded (becouse of ignore_bounce_errors_after=0s), but when 'temporary' problem occures, bounce leaves in the queue for about a week. I have tons of bounces in my queue and I don't like that. How I can order Exim to throw this shit automatically?
We are using FreeBSD, Exim-4.43 + MySQL + exiscan + SA + ClamAV from ports.


P.S. Please, CC to blacksir@??? becouse I don't subscribed to this list.
