Well, unless I'm mistaken, ezmlm-idx relies on this behaviour - for
example it can send digests to zero recipients (noone is
subscribed to digest version). If you change qmail's behaviour by a
patch, you mey get problems with ezmlm_idx.

I tried to search the specs but couldn't find an authoritative
resolution. By bouncing messages with corrent SMTP headers,
you're becoming just-one-more-broken-SMTP-client. No big deal
though.

If you think that MTA should correct errors made by silly users and
broken MUAs - well, that's sendmailism. sendmail might just suit
your needs better.
