Hi all,

I'm subscribed to Digest, so I'll reply to each message here. Feel free to Cc me so I can reply to each individual reply sooner.

I do agree. Nevertheless, some sort of hack or setting in Amavis could allow that (creation of an alternate message that it would distribute to the inner SMTP while it sends a REJECT to the outer SMTP.

I don't understand why you recommend to run Amavis as a milter instead of my current setup if you think it would not achieve the goal... Am I missing something?

Ok, any idea how I should proceed? To my knowledge "quarantine" makes Postfix accept the message, then can't trigger a REJECT on outer SMTP.
