Hi, CENTOS 5.10 i686 xenpv " server WHM 11.44.1 (build 18) I am addressing this problem; ######################################## I have a VPS set up as MX for several of my domains. The e-mail for these domains are just aliases to other mail accounts (mostly Gmail) to forward incoming mail. Ofcourse this catches also much spam e-mail that is than rejected by Gmail (and my VPS becomse temporarily blocked) [QUOTE] 2014-07-29 12:56:42 SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data: host alt3.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com [74.125.142.27]: 421-4.7.0 [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 15] Our system has detected an unusual rate of\n421-4.7.0 unsolicited mail originating from your IP address. To protect our\n421-4.7.0 users from spam, mail sent from your IP address has been temporarily\n421-4.7.0 rate limited. Please visit\n421-4.7.0

  Hello :) What entries do you see in /var/log/exim_mainlog regarding the SPAM scores of those messages? That should help dictate what value you should set as the rejection score. Thank you.

  Hi, Thanks for the reply. I can see no mention of spam assassin in that log at all. looking for 'spam' only finds the message from google about rate limiting my account. (which is appearing many times!)

  To be clear, the email addresses forwarding the spam do not have accounts. They are just forwarders.

  There is a feature request for SPAM protection with autoresponders which might can cover forwarders too. Take a look in the comments.

  Hello :) SpamAssassin should scan the email if you create the email account before setting up a forwarder for it, but it won't scan forwarded email on it's own. There is an open feature request that may interest you: [url=http://features.cpanel.net/responses/spamassassin-scan-email-forwarders]SpamAssassin Scan Email Forwarders | cPanel Feature Requests Please see the update from 2 days ago for details about a new feature planned for cPanel version 11.48. Thank you.
