2026-04-12T15:48:38  <cboltz> FYI: mailq cleaned from spam bounces (with faked sender address factory@lists.o.o) once more
2026-04-12T15:49:15  <cboltz> I'm also testing a body filter on mx1 to catch these spam bounces at the door - if it works, I'll also do that on mx2
2026-04-12T15:58:45  <cboltz> wow, that was fast - it already stopped 4 mails...
2026-04-12T15:58:56  <cboltz> blocking added on mx2 too
2026-04-12T15:59:24  <matrix-o-o> <SFaulken> oh, good deal, I was just about to ping you about that.
2026-04-12T16:00:31  <cboltz> just wondering - in which way was that annoying you?
2026-04-12T16:01:28  <matrix-o-o> <SFaulken> I've been getting basically flooded with messages to the "factory-owner@lists.opensuse.org" address the last week or two.
2026-04-12T16:03:30  <cboltz> ok, then you share the pain ;-)  - I've seen copies of them via admin-auto@
2026-04-12T16:04:05  <matrix-o-o> <SFaulken> especially repeatedly from ptolemaida@viosy.gr
2026-04-12T16:04:25  <matrix-o-o> <SFaulken> I've roundfiled them on my own mail server, but it's still really annoying =P
2026-04-12T16:04:52  <cboltz> I admit I didn't check who sent the bounces, and how many ;-)
2026-04-12T16:05:30  <matrix-o-o> <SFaulken> yeah, I was gonna file a ticket, to see if we had any sort of spam filtering running on the MTA or not. but it seems like you're already on it.
2026-04-12T16:05:53  <cboltz> we have some spam filtering, but it could be better
2026-04-12T16:06:49  <cboltz> in this specific case, I use a postfix body check:
2026-04-12T16:06:55  <cboltz>     /From: Kwame Ali<factory@lists.opensuse.org>/  reject Bouncing spam with faked sender
2026-04-12T16:07:18  <matrix-o-o> <SFaulken> if you could look into that address I just posted, that'd be great.
2026-04-12T16:07:20  <cboltz> (at least the spammer is nice and always uses the same realname in the From)
2026-04-12T16:09:16  <cboltz> that address is probably just a poor spam victim - and bounces that spam to the From: address (instead of rejecting it at the SMTP level, so that the sending server has to handle generating and sending a bounce)
2026-04-12T16:09:24  <cboltz> just a silly server on the internet, nothing special ;-)
2026-04-12T16:10:38  <matrix-o-o> <SFaulken> yeah.
