I use this setup so that every site I set up an account for gets given a different email address, e.g. diymacserver@mydomain.com
the idea behind this is that if I get lots of spam sent to a particular address I can just start to bounce the mail sent to that address...
Anyway, I now have an address that I want to bounce (because lots of spam goes there), but can't work out how to use postfix.admin to bounce specific addresses... Basically I want to keep my general alias:
@mydomain.com --> myactualaddress@mydomain.com.
but also have a rule that says that mail to the alias:
So I already have a general alias that means that *@mydomain.com goes to me, I need a specific rule that just bounces all mail sent to thisaddressgetslotsofspam@mydomain.com...
Sorry, can't help you with that. You have a catch-all address and that is what it will do. The only thing you could do is create aliases for all the addresses you use and remove the catch-all.

I've used postfix.admin to set up my domain so that @mydomain.com gets sent to me... I've done this with an alias:
@mydomain.com --> myactualaddress@mydomain.com.

diymacserver@mydomain.com

@mydomain.com --> myactualaddress@mydomain.com.
but also have a rule that says that mail to the alias:
thisaddressgetslotsofspam@mysomain.com --> bounce back to sender
Any ideas on how to do this?

Just remove the alias and the mail address does not exist anymore and emails get bounced...
Nice idea by the way!

But the problem is that I don;t currently have an alias for
thisaddressgetslotsofspam@mydomain.com --> myactualaddress@mydomain.com.I only have the general rule that anything @mydomain.com goes to myactualaddress@mydomain.com, va the alias:
@mydomain.com --> myactualaddress@mydomain.comSo I already have a general alias that means that *@mydomain.com goes to me, I need a specific rule that just bounces all mail sent to thisaddressgetslotsofspam@mydomain.com...
