QMail spam
we had an emergency situation and had to rebuild a qmail server last night.

Email now that is designated as spam gets stuck in a loop and we get a ndr.

I would like for email not destined for a valid account or classified as spam be deleted rather then forwarded on to our exchange server.

All users have a forward setup in /qmail/alias/.qmail-username

email for user@domain.com is setup as follows.

|forward "Local@exchange.domain.com"

This causes a loop because smap@exchange.domain.com does not exist.

The email eventually is returned to sender.

We would like for email classified as spam be deleted immediately rather than forwarded to the spam address.

I am unfamiliar with qmail so any help is appreciated.

qmail-local

qmail-local(8)                                                System Manager's Manual                                               qmail-local(8)

NAME

       qmail-local - deliver or forward a mail message

SYNOPSIS

       qmail-local [ -nN ] user homedir local dash ext domain sender defaultdelivery

DESCRIPTION

       qmail-local reads a mail message and delivers it to user by the procedure described in dot-qmail(5).

       The  message's  envelope  recipient  is local@domain.  qmail-local records local@domain in a new Delivered-To header field.  If exactly the
       same Delivered-To: local@domain already appears in the header, qmail-local bounces the message, to prevent mail forwarding loops.

       The message's envelope sender is sender.  qmail-local records sender in a new Return-Path header field.

       homedir is the user's home directory.  It must be an absolute directory name.

       dash and ext identify the .qmaildashext file used by qmail-local; see dot-qmail(5).  Normally dash is either empty or a lone hyphen.  If it
       is  empty,  qmail-local  treats  a nonexistent .qmailext the same way as an empty .qmailext: namely, following the delivery instructions in
       defaultdelivery.

       The standard input for qmail-local must be a seekable file, so that qmail-local can read it more than once.

OPTIONS

       -n     Instead of reading and delivering the message, print a description of the delivery instructions.

       -N     (Default.) Read and deliver the message.

EXIT CODES

       0 if the delivery is completely successful; nonzero if any delivery instruction failed.  Exit code 111 indicates temporary failure.
