hi,

I have just installed spamassassin on my FC4 with postfix, it is working good, but i don't know how to make it stop sending emails back to spammers.

the worst thing is some are sending spam as if the emails comes from xyz@xxxxxxx <mailto:xyz@xxxxxxx> so, my server is fulling my root mailbox with "undeliverd email" messages.

can anyone help me please?

regards,

I do not think it is spamassassin causing this. I use it with procmail and explicitly have to call spamc and if I wanted to auto-reply to anything I have to add code to .procmailrc to do it.

But... maybe there is an option in the spamassassin conf file. Though I can't imagine why such a feature would be implemented.

However, replying to spam is not a good idea.... the headers are most probably spoofed and you'll be sending messages to the wrong people, or as you found out, invalid destinations and messages get bounced back to you.

You are better off simply accepting the spam silently and either putting it in a SPAM folder, or pass it /dev/null where you know it can't bother anybody.
