Hi,
I have an issue, that I want to try and get rid of.
Someone has signed up to a mailing list, and subsequently moved on. we get emails to them sent from a noreply@mailinglist.com
and the NDR for these get stuck in our outgoing queue.

So i'd like to be able to create a rule that says any email to:noreply@* discard
I have tried in header checks (using Regex: /^To: noreply@\ / DISCARD)
and also created a recipient_block in /etc/postfix and mapped it to the relevant part of main.cf

The odd bit is when i test it the noreply address i am using to test receives emails saying "failed"

Has anyone managed to do this, or anything similar

I am working on the theory that anyone using an address that starts no reply doesn't want to get emails to it.


Thanks in advance

Frank

Did you ever resolve this problem?

blocking email to noreply@ seemed like a good idea, so I added the following rule to my /etc/postfix/header_checks
and it worked perfectly first time.

Are you sure you wrote your rule correctly?

/^To: noreply@\ / DISCARD)
should be:
/(^To: noreply@)/ DISCARD it is good to put a reason why the mail was rejected here
