Hello everyone,
Occasionally I get emails which have a subject header of "Rejected posting to Blah", from a listserv I am on. Without going into a 10 page diatribe of why, I'd like to reject these automatically, sending them to /dev/null. I used to run Sendmail and that was pretty easy to do. How can I do this under Postfix under CentOS 5.3?
Do you want to reject them or eat them and send them to /dev/null ?
If you want to reject them something like this would work:
header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/regexp_table
and in /etc/postfix/regexp_table something like: /^Subject: This is the subject I want to reject REJECT 554 Custom rejection message
The problem with that approach is that its global to the server. I dislike putting filtering rules like that in the system, and prefer to do them on a per user basis, hence my postmailrc suggestion (except I don't know if CentOS uses postmail as the delivery agent for postfix)
Hey Filipe, John, Michael,
Thanks for your help on this. I do want a global rejection in this case, so this works out well. Thanks so much everyone!!!
Gilbert
