You have two options: If you have mimedefang installed and using it run spamassassin over all incoming messages, you can change mimedefang's default spamassassin filter interface from merely tagging messages to actually rejecting them -- mimedefang can return a code to tell Postfix to boot the spam message with a 5xx status. Or you can have a recipe in .procmailrc to file (or otherwise) messages tagged as spam. (Another thing you can do is configure Postfix's access and client.cidr files to refuse to even talk to various hosts that are known spam sources -- pretty much all of China, Vietnam, Russia (and former USSR countries), and Brazil as well as all of the "silly" TLDs: .science, .stream, .store, .webcam, .acountant, .life, .today, and many more.) > > I've documented the whole configuration here: > > * https://blog.microlinux.fr/spamassassin-centos/ > > The problem with this setup is that spam mail is still delivered, and I > need Thunderbird's filters to weed out incoming mail.
