Delete old emails

[kitbarker]

Sorry if this is posted elsewhere, I did look before posting, honest.

This my current set-up:

I have a mail account called postmaster@

I have set up an autoresponder on this account with a nice message saying that the email address isn't recognised.

I set up the domain mail handling to send all unrecognised email to postmaster@

OK, the idea is to inform people if they mispell an address etc. Simple enough. However, I don't want to check the mailbox for postmaster@, just inform people they got the wrong address. I want mail to be deleted from it as soon as the responder replies to it but can't see how to do this.

Otherwise the mailbox will fill up and then simply reject all email.

Any thoughts?

Divert it to /dev/null?

Respond and divert it to /dev/null?

your /var/qmail/control/alias/.qmail-postmaster would then contain something like

| send your mail here and...
| cat > /dev/null

That should work? Give it a go.

Bye

Cass
