Hi,

I'm using dbmail with sendmail over lmtp, and from what I can tell, sendmail is effectively acting as a relay. It receives the mail into the local queue, and then tries to deliver it over lmtp.

The problem with this is that sendmail will accept all mail restined for the local domains, regardless of whether the users exist. The undeliverables will the either backscatter or sit in the queue as undeliverable until they eventually bounce into the local postmaster's mailbox.

Is there a workaround for this? Is there a way to make the MTA check that the recipient exists before accepting the mail?

Thanks.

Gordan
