RE: [cobalt-users] catch-all address, but kick some back



Optionally, you could keep your catch-all account, setup the spam account with 1mb of disk space, then whatever emails go to it will automatically be bounced with an error message.

A few things, I did set up the spammer address with 1mb, not for the reason you said, but that is pretty good idea. The only drawback of relying on this is a full mbx still implies it is a good address.

But I think I found a good solution, and it could even help with our catchall stuff. I use the catchall mostly for the purpose of knowing where my addresses are sold, I don't want to give Gateway my real address or I would never know that the >1000 spam messages I have gotten due to Gateway was caused by them. I filter all incoming Gateway mail to a gateway spam mbx (I use Eudora).

Instead I am just going to add all the aliases *I do want* to have to one user ID and just eliminate the unlimited address. So if I make up an address for Gateway I will just have to remember to add the alias.

Just seems like a cleaner way to handle the problem.
I still would like the other method to work, but heck, I just need to solve a problem.
