Spam filtering before frontline

Question

Here's a whacky question,
I have implemented frontline spam defense, and it is working beautifully (Thanks again Alex!)
The only strange thing (which I am sure has something to dowith another aspect of my config) is that if an email is identified as "junk mail" it is immediately redirected to "junkdepot" folder - which is good. However this also happens if the email is sent to an invalid user??
I would prefer this was just immediately bounced back.
I am wondering if there is a quick and easy fix for this... if not I'll live...Not a big deal.
Any ideas? Thks - Rohin

Answer 1

This makes no sense, I have made no changes, updated with 10.4.9 combo and everything continues to work properly and I'm using Net:Server 0.95, both amavisd-new-2.3.3 and amavisd-maia continue to work without issues.
I believe it's due to the method you install your cpan moduleshowever no one really asks for the correct correct flags and for the most part use cpan to build and install the modules.
