The problem with this is that sendmail will accept all mail restined for

mailbox.
Is there a workaround for this? Is there a way to make the MTA check that
the recipient exists before accepting the mail?
With sendmail? No!
I am aware of being able to specify all the allowed recipients in the
access file as:
To:[EMAIL PROTECTED] OK
But I was hoping there is a more direct way. Since dbmail doesn't appear
to have an integrated SMTP daemon. :-/
I suppose I could add an option to the Makefile to rebuild the access file
from the DB. Or possibly just wrap the dbmail-users to dump the ACL
whenever an address is added/removed.
There is a sendmail-sql plugin somewhere, but it inconvienient.
Your best way, is to get over the sendmail advantages, and start
using postfix.
Yes, that occured to me, too. I was just hoping to avoid it as my current
sendmail config is simpler and smaller that what I'd inevitable get to if
I switched to postfix...
