(no subject)

I am a victim of massive amounts or email being
rejected(that did not 
originate from my server) and sent to a user that does not
exist on my 
server, which in turn gets forwarded to the admin email
address.  I want to 
Reject Unknown Local Recipients with Postfix/DBMAIL.

This is what's happening,
http:/
/www.postfix.org/BACKSCATTER_README.html

I have this setting in mail.cf,
mailbox_transport = dbmail-lmtp:localhost:24
local_recipient_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/sql-recipients.cf

this is sql-recipients.cf,
user = dbmail
password = mypw
hosts = localhost
dbname = dbmail
table = dbmail_aliases
select_field = alias
where_field = alias

And the postfix docs say,

"If a local username or address is not listed in
$local_recipient_maps, then 
the Postfix SMTP server will reject the address with
"User unknown in local 
recipient table"


http://www.postfix.org/LOCAL_RECIPIENT_README.html..

...is this a dbmail config setting I need to change?

Thanks,
Jim

Yes Jim,

setting up a local_recipients_map is a *good* thing.
