Re: [PLUG] Backup MX Question

[John Von Essen <john@essenz.com>]

Well, discarding spam is a feature of your milter. I use MIMEDefang. If a
message is identified as spam, I use md's action_discard sub to discard
the message. In the past I used action_bouce, which would send an email
back to the sender - causing queue problems since most From: addresses
were bogus.
