I did not recognized in the decade(s) of using cyrus lmtp that cyrus did not accepted any "real" email. So it would be nice to get any details about what type of records / data is "blocked" by cyrus LMTP in your situation. > There are several reasons why I want to do this, the most important ones > being: > > - The log files grow very fast because the poll interval is short, and I > have several dozens of these messages (mainly spam) in each of my external > accounts. Ok, but this is usually part of "logging" at the first stage... ß) > - For legal reasons (I am handling my professional email using this system), > I must not lose any message which is sent to me, even if it is spam or it > is malformed. "Spam" is not "malformed" usually today - so this is another story. But an email is an email, if it fit's ALL points of the protocol requirements (by RFC) - if not you or any other mail system is not able to handle a message really properly and correctly. For "legal reasons" you can use proper logging here, proving what was done (and what not) on your mail systems side. The very most of (professional) internet-connected email systems are not accepting mails which are not fulfilling the basic standards even if they are "able" to "reach" the MX from anywhere and/or have a proper Rcpt To - by very good reasons (i.e. at least to avoid abusive usage of your MX by third parties). If you are willing to accept even stuff which is not fulfilling the basic requirements you have to make shure that the stuff is converted to any real mail so that serviecs or sofwtare afterwards is able to handle it as real email. If it is true that any kind of headers are not accepted - just let rewrite (and for "legal reasons" may be log that) it. cheerioh, Niels. -- --- Niels Dettenbach Syndicat IT & Internet http://www.syndicat.com PGP: https://syndicat.com/pub_key.asc ---
