Never did get around to implementing databytes, as it was my understanding that its utility was limited -- the manpage never explicitly states whether the mail is actually queued or not, and I (apparently) misread it. qmail-send never sees the mail, and it is rejected at the SMTP level, not bounced. This appears to work regardless of destination -- all SMTP injected mail must fit inside databytes. To the OP, it looks like databytes will do what you want, if the sender is injecting via SMTP, rather than locally. -- Greg White
