How to reject all mail for root and parked domains.

[chinesewhispers]

OK, let's say I have a cpanel account with a root domain, and it has several hundred parked domains on it.

I don't want to get any mail from any of the domains, so basically I can ditch it all.

At the moment, the default mailbox where the mail is going is the username of the account, as it is for all parked domains that have been added.

This is filling up by over 1500 a day, and I am manually deleting all the mail.

What I need is a solution, instead of going through the list and changing the default address to :blackhole:, what else can I do to stop all mail to the root domain and all parked domains.

Many thanks.

Two solutions:

- Create a cron and zero the file once a day.

- Write a bash/perl script to edit all your valiase files and send everything to the bit bucket.

Hi again

It seems like my only option is the cron option.

Is there anybody who could assist or advise me on the task in hand?

I would need to know (never having used any cron functions) how to delete or zero the inbox file.

All help is very much appreciated, thanks in advance.

I did one better, I wrote a script that removes specific domains from /etc/localdomains

Each night I first run

/scripts/updateuserdomains
/scripts/mailperm

Then I remove all the domains I don't want mail from...
