I block the entire imedia.fr domain because of this crud. If the site admin over there can't learn to use envelope returns properly, I want no part of mail coming from their servers. They are broken, and dangerous. Once I stop seeing their barrage of misdirected bounces getting kicked off my server, I'll stop rejecting them. Until then, I got 550's a plenty.


However, it would be nice if the snort-users list admin could track them down and remove the offending addresses directly. This has been going on for a long time, and it's getting silly.

In the interim might I suggest this bit from my /etc/mail/access file (for sendmail):

mail.easynet.fr 550 mail systems with broken bounces are not welcome here
postmaster@imedia.fr 550 mail systems with broken bounces are not welcome here
212.180.1.138 550 mail systems with broken bounces are not welcome here
212.180.1.136 550 mail systems with broken bounces are not welcome here


Cleans up the problem real fast. Just run make on the directory after you edit the file.

Same goes for ipadnet.com.br who are also doing the "bounce to from instead of envelope" trick:

200.249.204.129 550 mail systems with broken bounces are not welcome here
postmaster@ipadnet.com.br 550 mail systems with broken bounces are not welcome here



The whole stunt is just as brilliant as spammers who try to spam "DuhInvalid@evi-inc.com" (I've used it in examples before). Gee do you think the address is valid?
