    Default :fail: Custom Message

    I search the forums and the docs and couldn't find anything about setting a message when using :fail: as the default email address. A client would like to have a special message and I cannot find anything about just setting a custom message for a single domain.

    Thanks for the help,
    Michael Card

    if you want the sender to see a message, you will have to use :blackhole:. Add whatever message you want after :blackhole: in the same line.

    eg.

    :blackhole: user does not exist

    But by using blackhole, there are some disadvantages such as the message will be processed by server. If that is a catchall account, all the spams that come into your server will also be processed which would increase your server load.

    ":fail: no such address here"

    Replace "no such address here" with whatever you want to reply with.

    It looks like you have bigger problems than that though.

    That won't be enough, though. I've documented the changes needed to have the :fail: message reported in the RCPT deny here:
