[Bug 306889] Re: Default Ubuntu configuration is backscatter source

[Imre Gergely]

Not sure if I did the tests right, but here it is. I did the following:

- installed the stock amavisd-new on Intrepid, sent a test mail, and got a bounce back to the sender.
- removed amavisd-new with purge
- enabled intrepid-proposed, installed amavisd-new from there, checked the conf, the two options were gone
- sent the same test mail (with attached virus), and got back bounce message, because of this, I think:

root at utest-ii:/etc/amavis/conf.d# cat /etc/amavis/conf.d/21-ubuntu_defaults |grep banned_dest
$final_banned_destiny     = D_BOUNCE;  # (defaults to D_BOUNCE)

This would still bounce back a message to the sender. After changing
this to D_DISCARD, I didn't get back any bounce mail. Double-checked the
config file is indeed installed by the package from -proposed.
