Hello, Sarah.

Would you be kind to tell how to add a rule server wide to not send emails to addresses that are noreplay@anydomain.clt ?

Thanks,
Sergio

Does blacklisting "To: noreply\@*" (without the quotes) in MailScanner not work? Or, an exim filter rule to drop them?

i don't want to blacklist any "noreplay@" address, what I want is not to send an automatic replay to any "noreplay@", both are different situations.

Thanks for your help.

Sergio

I'm not aware of any way to do what you are asking in the MailScanner configuration. You'd probably have to write an exim rule.

That's true. I take it this is for auto-responders? If so, something like this in your exim filter file should stop automatic replies to any noreply@ address.
The $reply_address variable will first check to see if a Reply-To: header exists in the incoming message. If not, it will check the From: header for the presence of "noreply@".

"seen finish" makes sure the automatic reply is never sent and halts any further actions on it.

Hope the above helps.

Thanks, csfan.

I am asking for a rule for MailScanner, something like:

To: noreply@* and From: *@* no

So, I don't have to mess with exim.
MailScanner rules are easier to manage and can be copied on all my servers.

Maybe adding that rule under spam.blacklist.rules?

That should work fine. Although, you would want "yes" as the desired action, so that MailScanner can get the message blacklisted.

You could even probably omit the From: bit, as the To: header is what matters in this case.

I will give it a try, thanks.

I will add:
To: noreplay@* no

You will need "yes" as the action so as to blacklist any emails where the To: header contains noreply@.
