Eland Systems scam-backscatter milter

Scam-backscatter prevents backscatter (accept and bounce) on mail servers which don't host mailboxes locally. It validates mailboxes by verifying the recipient addresses hosted on a different mail server.

Backscatter is a serious side effect of SPAM if a secondary mail server does not have knowledge of acceptable recipient addresses of the primary mail server. Nowadays most of the SPAM uses forged sender addresses and SPAM backscatter causes a significant problem to innocent third parties whose address have been used in a SPAM campaign. This milter transparenly prevents your sendmail based secondary mail server from accepting messages which can not be delivered to the primary mail server.

Please see the Eland Systems' web site for more information.
