Reject non-exist user on SMTP session ?

[schatje]

Is there any patch for qmail to reject unknown user in smtp session?
So the qmail does not accept that email and bounce to the sender. It will reduce traffic consumption for sending bounce spam.

Thanks

Log into control panel. Go to the "domain", click <MAIL> icon then <PREFERENCES>. Select "Reject"

It is already Reject, but my .qmail-default contain

|bouncesaying This\ address\ no\ longer\ accepts\ mail.

I was try select Bounce with message and then apply, then back to Reject again

Thanks

You probably already know this but just in case. You can stop double bounces by editing:
#/var/qmail/control/doublebounceto

The file should read:
#

I do not have that file should i create manually?
and i found file /var/qmail/control/rejectnonexist it is contains all of my domain

Why when i try select Forward to address and back to Reject, my .qmail-default does not changed? it keeps contain &[email protected]
Look like Reject options does not work

Thanks..

Yes, create /var/qmail/control/doublebounceto manually.

If "reject" is not working for you, another way to drop mail to non-existing users is to create a catchall email address but do not enable the "mailbox". Then forward all mail to non-existing users to this special mailbox. Since it is not enabled, the email goes nowhere, it just disappears.
