As far as i know, qmail will make differrent connection for every rcpt to and bounces will be made only for those that do not exist. My test was:

create one email like this:

recipient: some nonexisting account
bcc: existing account

mail will be delivered to existing account
bounce will be made for nonexisting account

I just did a quick test on my recent QT install. A message is rejected if _any_ of the recipients does not exist (I tested with one known existing, and one unknown).

I used to think so too, but now I'm not so sure.

I'm wondering if it would be feasible to do what Jim's suggesting. What if
an email comes in with a valid address and an invalid address. You'd want
the valid address to be delivered, right? In that case, the message would
have to be accepted to the valid address, and bounced to the invalid one. I
think this may be why it's necessary to complete the smtp session even if
there is an invalid address. Just a though.
