I have the following mail setup:
This is what happens at the numbered stages:
- some spam-address (which actually does not exist) sends spam to info@xyz.org
- the info@xyz.org has an auto-reply configured which is sent automatically to spam@spam.org (which does not really exist)
- since spam@spam.org does not really exist, the info@xyz.org receives a Mail Delivery System message from the Mailer-Daemon (the daemon is omitted from the picture for the sake of clarity). The Mail Delivery System message looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/ZP0dzUp.png
- My issue here is, that this Mail Delivery System mail gets forwarded to person1@private.com (etc...) because I have configured a mail forward from info@xyz.org to person1@private.com, etc...
What can I do to avoid step 4, that is, the auto forward from the mail delivery system error message to the forward mail addresses (person1@private.com)
One solution would be to disable the Mail Delivery System messages at the email-server. However, I think this is not really smart, because sometimes, I would like to receive these error messages, in case they are useful.
