Thanks Fritz. I know about RejectTheseLocalAddresses - I wrote it a while back :) It was designed for rare cases where there's a wildcard address allowed at a particular host name like *[email protected]. We had some of these once upon a time. Putting an address on that list would reject the specific [email protected] as if it wasn't accepted by the *[email protected] match in local users.
That won't work in this case, since the to addresses are current users, we just want the sender to THINK that they sent to an invalid address. Redlist is a good idea, but if other users want to get mail from that org, it'll stop those emails from geting to the corpus too. I'd prefer to avoid that if there's another way. So, what I'd really like to see if this is easy is a list of sender=>recipient pairs (which accepts wildcards) that if it matcfhes will give an Invalid User error to the sender. Similar functionality to the RejectTheseLocalAddresses could be used, where it would consider the local user to NOT be a local user. Unless there's a way of doing this now that i'm not thinking of, I'll see if I can't write this too. I think this might be universally helpful. it would also allow a sort of restraining order effect. If a person no longer wants to receive mail from someone who is harraing them, we could block it this way without stopping that sender from sending to other people on the system. And that person would just be told that the account doesn't exist, which is a good way to get them to stop emailing. Adding them to red won't be a good idea since it's only emails to a specific address that should be considered blocked and other mails from that person should contribute to the redlist. Only thing that you'd need to make sure my code doesn't do is penalize the sending IP or add these only simulated invalid user rejections from corrupting the corpus or messing with penalties at all. This is spam free mail that incapable sysadmins ./ list admins can't seem to stop their servers from sending.
