POSTFIX - Preventing Spam? (encirc culprit)

Post by andrewb » 2021/09/11 00:34:39

Hi everyone,

I'm running SPAMASSASSIN and also using Postfix to try and slow down our onslaught of spam.

I'm getting a mixture of encirc emails that are very frustrating...

Achieve Funds <wiz@encirc.edailyservices.com>
Fresh Start <info@encirc.iloantoday.com>

I was hoping of someone adding this to my rejected_domains file that is accessed by Postfix;

/\.live$/ REJECT We reject all .live domains
/\.digital$/ REJECT We reject all .digital domains

so I tried;

/@.*\.?encirc\./ REJECT We reject all .encirc

But it doesn't work, any ideas?

cheers,
Andrew

How do you reference the rejected_domains file in your main.cf?

/@.*\.?encirc\./
Are you sure that pattern is correct? It says match an @ sign followed by any character, any number of times, followed by a literal '.' then any single character followed by 'encirc.'. I don't think that matches either of the 2 examples you've given.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Do you want help, or is it more important to you to make a snarky remark than get help?

I asked "how", not if. So, show the lines in which you reference the rejected_domains file. Not just the exact line, but also the lines around it, so that we can see what part of the config you specify it.
