Droping mail with ProxMox

[ranceh]

We are using ProxMox 3.1 as our mail gateway. We manage our own outgoing mail routing but we also process emails automatically generated by our ownline classroom infrastructure.

Problem: Many of our schools do not allow students to have email, but provide account names in the form of email addresses for convienience.

I have a list of domains that are now generating error bounces by our server because their is no mail system at the receivers domain.

I need a rule that silently drops email addressed to user@no-mail.domain.com.

I don´t understand it correctly. if no email accounts are there, no emails can be sent. what do I miss?

which server generates the emails and why do you allow them sending via your gateway?

We host and manage about 100 online classroom instances for area public schools. They are centrally managed from a centralized management system and each individual instance generates email receipts for assignment submission, etc.

These emails are routed to our email gateway for processing. We havent found a way to sucessfully turn off emails at the online classroom site, so we need a way to silently drop emails when the schools do not allow student to have email.

The bounce clutter may be masking real problems and you can't possibly sort relevant from irrelevant, so I need to create a list of domains that do not allow students email, and then silently send to the bit bucket email to a user in one of our no-email domains.
