MAILER-DAEMON@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ERROR:"550 Tell this idiot (jrhw) to empty his mailbox"

Is that rule actually catching anything for you? The "bounce" I got had
an envelope sender address of dbmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx rather than
MAILER-DAEMON@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (or <>) and hence wouldn't be caught
by that rule.

I have:

From:dbmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx        ERROR:5.7.1:550 Bounces go to
the envelope sender address, not the header sender address

And that's certainly working according to /var/log/maillog

Paul.

Sometimes you don't get the rule right until the second time ;-).

I'll bounce stuff from ceres.concept.net.nz until I stop seeing error messages on my end.

Cheers,
Dave
