Delete spam mails from queue

[sandiphw]

Freddie,

How can I delete all mails from "MAILER-DAEMON", because with ID deleteing thousands mail is beyond impossible.

which I understand points to file postfix_recipient_restrictions.cf which need to be modified to block unknown receipent. So I had added the following line in this file:

reject_unknown receipent

(seeing syntax of rest parameters)

Then I restart zimbra, but it didn't work. Where I am wrong?

Thanks for your co-operation to understand my problem

Sandip,

If you insist on modifying it in this file instead of zmmta.cf, then the syntax needs to be

smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient

Note it must start with "smtpd" and the word is "unlisted" rather than "unknown." Both of these elements are sourced here at Postfix. In addition, there is no space between any of the words, each is separated by an underscore character (_).

You may need to add "=yes" to the end of that expression if there is a setting somewhere else in a file you haven't found that has made it "no" but according to Postfix the default for that setting is "yes" if you have inserted it.

This is not one of those places where the computer understands what you MEANT to say, you have to be precise to every character.

Cheers,

Dan

Read the man page for postsuper. And check the docs on The Postfix Home Page. There are examples of perl scripts and awk scripts for deleting all messages with a specific e-mail address in there. I've never had to do more than 15-20 at a time, and never more than 2-3 times a year, so I haven't automated it beyond using the middle mouse button to copy/paste while typing -d in between.

Thank you both for your guidance. I shall try for both and let you know.

We are presently on FC4 with kernel version 2.6.11

If we want to upgrade zimbra to latest version, should we need to upgrade kernel also?


Best Regards,

Well, the current version (see downloads page) is for Fedora 7. The latest 4.x version, 4.5.11, is still available for Fedora Core 4, so I would think if you have it fully patched you should be OK.

But I'm reasonably certain there is more different in the distro than just the kernel; upgrading kernel only would probably leave you lacking a few dependencies when it comes to 5.x.
