BLOCKRELAYPROBE

From Qmail-LDAP Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Rejects recipients with and "!", "%" or double-"@".

Default:

off

Affects:

qmail-smtpd

Example:

"" (any value will do)

Note:

  • This is quite useful to stop so called anti-spam probes of clueless and overzealus wannabe RBL operators.
  • These probes try to exploit some ancient sendwhale bugs never existent in qmail. Unfortunatly qmail accepts such stuff even if it doesn't relays it and bounces it later.
  • "!" is the old UUCP bang path.
  • "%" is a sendwhale relaying hack and
  • double-"@" a sendwhale bug.
  • Beware if you actually use the qmail percent-hack! Then this can't be used obviously!
