hi

i have problem with @domain who receive many email flood to many alias not existing really...

the problem is the mail is scanned by spamassassin before verify if the alias@ exist really..

so when its happen..its make make process for scan many mails for the same user..but for many bad alias ( not existing )

i need to disable spamassasin for this user for around 2 days..

any solution for exim verify is alias exist before be scanned by spamassasin ??

or other solution ?


sorry for my english.. but i think its a good question !!
because its begin to be an problem..

DirectAdmin's Exim implementaiton doesn't create separate aliases, but rather uses forwards.

If there's neither a forward nor a mailbox for a user, exim refuses the mail.

Unless you're using Catchall, in which case all mail is valid.

So I'm not sure what you mean.
