[Web-cyradm] RegExp in Postfix Alias - Help!

[Larry Honig]

IDIOT ASSISTANCE REQUEST!

Hi, I am successfully using web-cyradm+postfix+cyrus-imap+SASL+Mysql on a
variety of Linux boxes, mostly running Ubuntu 6.06LTS. This system works well
for me and I have not upgraded past 0.54 yet. I generally have ten or more
virtual domains receiving mail on a server.

Recently I have started to be mail-bombed in this way; some fool out there is
sending spam with return addresses in this form

triyant*******@mydomain.com

The emails bounce to my server, which rejects them. However the volume is large
and I would prefer to simply /dev/null all email with a recipient that begins
with the letters 'triyant'.

Postfix 2.2.10 allows you to use regexp in the alias table, but I don't know how
to do it. I tried creating an alias 'triyant^' (without the quotes) but that
does not work. If I alias a specific address, like 'triyantooopl' to /dev/null,
it works fine, but since there are billions of variants (all beginning with
'triyant') a regexp is obviously the way to go.

I would really be grateful for any help. What I want is probably really simple.
(maybe instead of 'triyant^' I should say 'regexp:triyant^' ?)

Thanks in advance.

/Larry
