I cranked up logging to see if I could get a clue what it's doing.

I have a hook_rcpt handler that ends with:

    $self->log(LOGNOTICE, "$email doesn't exist");
    return Qpsmtpd::DSN->no_such_user("No such user as $email");

and what I find in the logs looks like this:

2007-08-31 10:23:17.849806500 18633 trinsixldap plugin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
doesn't
 exist
2007-08-31 10:23:17.849807500 18633 Plugin trinsixldap, hook rcpt returned DENY,
 No such user as [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#5.1.1)
2007-08-31 10:23:17.849809500 18633 running plugin (deny): tarpit
2007-08-31 10:23:17.849810500 18633 trying to get config for tarpit_whitelist
2007-08-31 10:23:17.849865500 18633 Plugin tarpit, hook deny returned DECLINED, 
2007-08-31 10:23:17.849867500 18633 550 No such user as [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
(#5.1.1)

and then it hangs forever and requires a -9.

Am I doing the wrong thing, is this a bug, or is there something odd about my 
system?

Chris
