how do I make unrouted mail not bounce from my site?

[molguin]

I´m piping all my incoming mail to a PHP script. The script forwards messages to email addresses according to what it sees in the "To:" field.

The only problem is that when the "To:" field doesn´t match one of my real email accounts, the sender gets an "undelverable mail" message back, although the script is forwarding the mail correctly.

How do I stop this from happening? I want to process all the messages that get to the script (which is happening adequately), without the senders getting their mail bounce back to them as undelivered, regardless of whether they are sent to existing accounts in my site or not.

Thanks.

Try setting default mail address to blackhole.

Hope that helps!

Can I do that myself using C-Panel. Won´t it just delete all incoming messages that don´t match my email accounts and not forward the messages to my script. Right now the Default Address is set to this:

mysite.com: "|/home/mysite/bin/script.php"

How exactly do I change it to blackhole?

Yes, I believe so.

In cpanel you go Mail -> Default Address -> Set Default Address and you find information there.

This was just an idea to experiment with :roll:
