First of all: wow! I can't wait to use this program! I've been setting it up on a different user account so I can try it out, and most things are going well. I am having some difficulty understanding how to stop postmaster getting my bounced confirmation requests, though. I followed this FAQ entry: http://wiki.tmda.net/TmdaFaq#head-2f0fc68e5357f633123128481b6f4642279b6957 >From reading this entry, I'm assuming it's possible to use an address such as <username>-devnull@<domain> to capture the bounces. I've set BOUNCE_ENV_SENDER to the equivalent of that for my test account and added the rule ``to [email protected] drop'' to my incoming filter file. When I send a message to [email protected], the confirmation process seems to work fine. However, when I send mail to [email protected], I get a challenge back -- I was expecting all mail that goes there to be, well, dropped! Something tells me I'm missing something obvious, but I can't work out what, from reading the (very good!) documentation. If someone here could point me in the right direction, that'd be great. I did see one reference when Googling somewhere to problems with Exim or Postfix when trying to do stuff like this; I'm not sure if they still apply or not, but it is probably worth mentioning that I am using Postfix (2.1). best regards, -- Matthew T.
