Hi, all!
I'm new in this list... First of all, greetings @all!
Then, the problem...
My firm uses Exim as MTA, and we have a little problem. I can see, with exim
-bpr many E-Mails in the queue. For example, I can see:
36h 933 1Dk5R5-0002iQ-PT <nofrom@email>
kontakt@$$$$$$$$$$.de
If I grep on /var/log/exim_mainlog, I see, for this E-Mail:

I can see in the Header file of this E-Mail that this is of course a Spam:

What is the problem?
The problem is that this customer has an Autoresponder, and then Exim tries to send an E-Mail to <>...
And, of course, it does not find a valid recipient...
Another problem is that we have many users with Autoresponder... And they receive many Spam-E-Mail without a valid address... =:((
The Code of the .forward of this Account is:
if personal then mail file /mnt/netapp/01/$$$$$$$$$$.de/$$$$$$$$$$.de9/.vacation.msg from "$local_part@$domain" subject "Autoresponder" once /ramdisk/db/autoresponder.db once_repeat 10m endif
Now the question: how can I configure Exim to IGNORE unvalid sender for the autoresponder?
Or, better, how can I configure Exim to discard invalid E-Mail recipient?
Many thanks in advance!
