    Hi,

    My server is in the backscatterer.org database. It's a Debian Perfect setup installation with ISPConfig 2. I tried to read the Postfix Backscatter Howto, but it's not simple to understand as the configuration is not the same. In this howto, they speak about local_recipient_maps but ISPConfig uses virtual_maps. They also speak about unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 wich should be the default in everything > postfix 2.4, as I use 2.7 this should not be the problem.

    I don't see what could be the problem, does someone have a clue about what could be wrong?
    Is there an easy Test I could do to test my server for Backscatter?

    Thanks

    Can you post your main.cf?

    # is /etc/mailname.

    An option could be changing the "$final_spam_destiny" value from "D_BOUNCE" to "D_DISCARD" in /etc/amavis/conf.d/20-debian_defaults

    Change: "$final_spam_destiny = D_BOUNCE;" to "$final_spam_destiny = D_DISCARD;"

    Basicaly spam is now not bounced back, but deleted.

    Thanks for your reply, but as far as I know ISPConfig 2 does not use amavis, or am I missing something?

    A listing at backscatter.org can also be caused by normal autoresponders. So the listing does not nescessarily mean that something is wrong with the setup.

    Thanks Till, I didn't think about the autoresponder, but unfornatelly it's not the case, I'searched the db, and user_autoresponder is either set to 0 or NULL.

    could the problem be that I switched to spamd?

    I'am not sure if spamd is able to send messages back to spammers, but you should check the spamd / spamassassin configuration in /etc/... if there is such a option.
