Send via a smarthost relay. Use a valid envelope sender domain that will receive (and, as appropriate, take note of) bounces. Use a valid "From" domain, but perhaps a "noreply" localpart. For the header RFC2822.From localpart, you have a choice of either silently discarding or rejecting mail to that address. It is perhaps more "friendly" to users who fail to notice the "noreply" localpart to reject. transport: nore...@example.org error:5.1.1 This address does not receive email nom...@example.org discard:silently The "nomail" variant is for silent discards, and is probably not what you want in most cases, but is sometimes appropriate. -- Viktor.
