You really never sent an email to yourself?


not on port 25


I did it many times...


sure just do it


And imagine that in a corporate environment where there are multiple
"department" (or how do you call them) mail servers that relay mail to 
a
central server. Then you can very easily have mail-from and rcpt-to 
equal on

port 25.


oh dear

i see servial server farms in the clouds try to abuse port 465/587 for 
delivering mails out from there mta only host, would you allow or deny 
it



Seems like a pretty valid case to me.


no

No, though you should consider *not* implementing a catchall, these are
generally a bad idea.

If you don't mind, could you please highlight why catchall is a bad idea?
Is it a technical, policy, security, etc, issue?
