Dan,

| I have a question, the answer to which I'm sure will be quite trivial,
| but this is something that's becoming more of a priority to resolve. It
| seems as though our amavisd installation (20020630), when a message is
| determined to be SPAM, it is properly quarantined within an internal
| mailbox, however, a bounce back is also sent to the message originator.
| 
| Hence the problem. Most message originators don't exist, or their
| mailboxes are full, or what have you. Which means the message ends up
| sitting in our queue. I've poured over the /etc/amavisd.conf and removed
| all references for notifying external recipients, however the mailq
| continues to fill with these spam bounces.
| 
| What am I missing? How can I put an end to these off-site notifications
| and simply send them to the quarantine only?
| 
| $final_virus_destiny =  0;  # -1=reject, 0=discard, 1=pass
| $final_spam_destiny  =  0;  # -1=reject, 0=discard, 1=pass

Hm, looks fine.
The $final_spam_destiny is controlling the spam rejections.

Are you sure the entries in the queue are not from before,
when you might still have $final_spam_destiny = -1,
which is a default? You did a reload, I presume.

The 20020630 does not know to generate bounce messages to spam senders
(the 20021116 does), so $final_spam_destiny = -1, in cooperation
with your MTA, is the only mechanism to produce rejects/bounces.
You don't perchance have more than one assignment to $final_spam_destiny?
(the last one prevails)

Although not related to your problem, sooner or later
you will want to set this list to match your environment,
otherwise some setting refuse to work.

  Mark
