How to stop bounces to unknown users?

I've had a domain name for 12 years now and it's become quite a spam magnet. I get thousands of spam emails daily and they totally glut up the message queue (and can really slow down the mail service).
I have been scouring the web looking for a way to turn of any response to an arriving email for an unknown user.
I'm fine accepting spam for a user that I know (and dealing with it at the client) but I'm tired of wasting bandwidth & cycles on a polite "I'm sorry, but there's no one here by that name) to spammers.
I think manually editing the main.cf file is the key. I tried enabling this directive - bit it didn't seem to change the behavior:
localrecipientmaps = unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps
#alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
I added some test emails addresses to the aliases file - but that also had no effect.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to achieve this?
Thanks
Greg

    Hi,
    1. The version of Messaging you're using, is very,
    very old. If you do not have a support contract, you
    should at least download and apply 5.2p2.
    What difference does it makes ?? can you explain
    me..So Jay doesn't have to re-explain this for the thousandth time.
    5.2p2 contains hundreds of fixes and can pro-actively fix problems that you may have not hit yet. We always recommend that customers all use up-to-date software if possible. In the same way that you should be patching your Operating System and other applications.
    my ques ...
    What will happen if i'm using "dnsverify" keyword in
    TCP local channel ??
    can you explain me ??Do you mean the dns_verify keyword in the mapping table or the mailfromdnsverify channel keyword?
    Either way I recommend you look at the iMS5.2 Admin Guide which explains both of these keywords and how to use them.
    Regards,
    Shane.

    This is usually a sign that your iPod's headphones are not plugged in all the way.  Make sure that you cannot see any of the silver still showing from the headphone's plug.  You should hear a sort of popping/clicking noise when inserting the headphones letting you know that they have been fully seated.

  • Video Gallery, How to Stop overlapping streams when user navigates to next item? Bug or syntax?

    My NASA Multimedia News App is exhibiting behavior that I would very much like to change. The app is in the store at
    http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/app/nasa-multimedia-news/7e74f3fb-b550-4ac6-b437-388f034ee6df
    If you look at one of the three video galleries, here is the scenario:
    1. Start one of the videos, for example the most recent one.
    2. without MANUALLY pausing the first video and before it finishes, scroll to the next item in the same gallery and PLAY it.
    3. two streams are now playing, audio overlapping.
    4. move on to the next item in the gallery OR GO TO A DIFFERENT PAGE/SCREEN, cover your ears.... 
    in fact the stream needs to stop if you navigate away from it by either starting a different video in the same gallery or when you navigate to a different screen/page in the app. and it doesn't.
    5. in fact, if you close the app by dragging it down and don't final close it by drag/hold flip or using taskmgr, if you re-open it the multiple audio streams will still be playing from where they left off.
    I don't honestly know if it is the video control or something I didn't do in the syntax (or even if something CAN be done), but with the overlapping cacophony that results, it is less than optimal. My expectations/hopes, were that if one stream was already
    playing, that moving to a new item and starting THAT stream would automatically terminate the original one that was playing so that only a single audio stream can be heard.
    I hope the issue is clear.
    Is this a bug? If it is by design, ugh. And is there a work around?

    Thor, it is my NASA Multimedia App - I resubmitted it last night and I guess a
    different tester got it and the update went through. But the issue still exists.
    The difference between what I have in my app and that other thread is that I
    have a video GALLERY as opposed to individual players. I did try messing around
    with that  syntax
      UpdateContext({videoPause: false}); UpdateContext({videoPause: true});
    Navigate(scrHome, ScreenTransition!Fade)
     But it didn't work between screens in my App and anyway, half of the issue is
    that it wouldn't work on a single screen that contains a video gallery that has
    say 10 videos, there is no OnSelect function used. I tried experimenting to see
    if I could get syntax working at least for when the navigation is to a different
    screen, but it doesn't work for me. Probably because it is a gallery.
     Hoping that Robin has a solution...

  • How to stop ACS intergated AD users to login in AAA clients(network device)

    I have ACS 4.2 Appliance which is integrated with Active directory.
    AD users are able to login in network devices. Is there any so that I can stop AD user and other local users to login in AAA clinets (network devices).

    These types of configurations are a two-way street. ACS must be configured to actually perform the authentication/authorization, and the AAA clients must also be configured for authentication/authorization. I would look at the AAA client configurations, first.
    What kind of AAA clients are we talking about? Cisco switches, Cisco WLC's? Swicthing gear from other companies?
    For Cisco switches, lines like the following will tell them to use your ACS server for administrative user auth (RADIUS ro TACACS+, respectively):
    aaa group server radius rad_admin
    server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    aaa group server tacacs+ tac_admin
    server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    If your AAA client is a WLC, then you need to uncheck the "Management" box where the RADIUS server is defined for authentication (Security -> AAA -> RADIUS -> Auth).

  • IPhone 3G: How to stop from joining unknown networks

    When I first got my iPhone I got to work and a wi-fi network named "Guest" popped up. Being new to things, I clicked on it. Of course nothing worked. I went to a web page and a page popped up asking for a password. I have no idea what the password is, and it's not available to the general public.
    That night, I went home and hooked up to my personal wireless LAN, and the wi-fi works great.
    Problem: If I leave wi-fi on, when I leave the house, the iPhone switches to 3G. As soon as I get to work, the phone connects to the "Guest" network and nothing works. I have to then turn off wi-fi to get things working.
    Question: How do I deselect this "Guest" network so my phone doesn't automatically try to connect to it. I don't mind it asking me, but it no longer asks since I selected it on time. I still want my home network to auto connect without asking, but not this work network.
    Hope someone can help. Thanks.

    Tap the small blue arrow next to "Guest"
    There's a big button at the very top that says "Forget this network"

  • How to stop bounced emails?

    Starting last month my emails have been intermittently bounced back, now 50% or better. I am using Mail for the POP account--I use a non-mac host, Westhost. The various bounced back messages from earthlinkabuse, spamhaus, etc, say that my IP is associated with spamming, naughty images, words. But that's nothing to do with me!
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    are you dsl or cable broadband with DHCP from your
    ISP?
    Try unplugging your dsl/cable for 15-30mins to try to
    reset your DHCP public IP address.
    Some spammer might have had that IPA assigned to them
    for awhile, and one or more people filed a complaint
    with the spam houses about that spammer. Then, you
    got the misfortune of getting that DHCP assignment.
    A more severe case would be if the distant end spam
    filters are rejecting the entire subnet of IP
    addresses associated with your email account. In that
    case, I would suggest that you either find a new
    email provider or see if your email provider can work
    with the black hole lists to get their domain removed
    from those lists.
    Thanks for the reply.
    We're running off a dsl wireless network.
    I will be at the studio later where the computer and router are, and do the reboot.
    My web host, Westhost, suggests that I acquire a dedicated IP address--and here is were my knowledge of the system ends--will that remove me from the DHCP assignment? and give me a fresh IPA that will not get hung-up by the spam patrol?
    Thanks

  • How to stop the Flex application when user clicks on Cancel button from JS-confirm message?

    Hi All,
    I use the next code when a user clicks on a link:
    private function clickHandler():void
          ExternalInterface.call('confirm', 'Of course you want to go to the Adobe forums!');
          navigateToURL(new URLRequest('http://forums.adobe.com'), '_self');
    This will show up the javascript confimation box. But when the cancel-button is clicked, the user goes straightly to http://forums.adobe.com...
    How to stop Flex performing the next code when a user clicks on the Cancel button?
    Or, how to catch which button is clicked by a user in Flex?
    Thanks!

    I agree with Mr. Hall that using mx.controls.Alert in Flex may be a better route.
    Show the Alert like this:
    // show an alert with a question and yes and no choices
    Alert.show( "Would you like to go to the Adobe Forums?", "Question",
         Alert.YES | Alert.NO, this, closeHandler, null, Alert.YES );
    Then handle the response in the closeHandler() function:
    protected function closeHandler( closeEvent:CloseEvent ):void
    if( event.detail == Alert.YES )
         navigateToURL( new URLRequest('http://forums.adobe.com'), '_self' );
    else if( event.detail == Alert.NO )
         // they chose no
    The following documentation on Alerts may be helpful:

  • How do I remove (unknown) user in permissions & sharing, please?

    I re-installed OS X with archive install.  I am reinstalling preferences, etc... using Time Machine and my archived Previous System folder.  However, many folders are marked and I have an (unknown) user with Read&Write Priveleges in Sharing & Permissions for files within 'Previous System' folders.  I am unable to remove (unknown) with - and I have no option for setting 'No Access' to this user.
    How do I remove (unknown) user with Read&Write Priveleges in Permissions?
    Using Terminal,  I have ascertained that my uid=501

    Hmmm, doesn't sound good for your drive.
    Check the S.M.A.R.T. status of the drive in Disk Utilty by highlighting the Drive & looking at the bottom of the window.
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • How to stop an unauthorized user from changing my password.

    How do I block an unauthorized user from constantly changing my password?
    I had an old iPod Gen 4 stolen and someone from China is downloading Apps (I get email alerts when they download something and the last message said the computer used is registered in China).  I have changed the account password many times.  However, days later, I will get an alert email that my password was changed (not by me), or I will try to purchase something and my password will not work.  How else can I block this person from changing my password so he/she can use my account?  Will changing my user email address work?  Should I deactiviate all authorized computers to wipe them out?  I do not have any credit cards tied to my account, so they are only downloading free apps.

    Hi Gradux,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! In this situation, I suggest contacting the application developer. The information on how to do that can be found in the following article.

    Contact the developer
    If you see the issue again, contact the developer of the app for help:
    Find the app in the App Store.

    Tap App Support.
    I hope this helps,

    How  to stop  the users from changing User Profile

    Hai,
    It is not possible to restrict SU3 to display, because it has only S_TCODE has the authorization object.
    If you really want to restrict users from changing their profile you have to remove the SU3 access and give SU1 or SU2 which gives access only to Personnel details and Parameters.
    Hope this helps.

    you do have to actually define the area to be bounced in the dialogue window that comes up - there are some discrepencies in the way that the program behaves like that,
    Apart from the "Include Audio Tail" function, which can leave Logic bouncing for a very, very long time, there are generally, no discrepancies regarding the Bounce Locators:
    If Cycle is enabled, the bounce locators will be set to the cycle locators.
    If Cycle is off, and regions are selected, the bounce locators will be set to the selection.
    If cycle is off, and no regions are selected, the bounce locators will be set from the Project Start to the project end.
    It is smart to actually check that the bounce locators are set where you would like them to be.
