Hi Kania,
it depends a lot on which client you're using. Eudora has a good handling
of rejected users. chkuser (qmail-smtpd) tells exactly which is the wrong
recipient, but some e-mail clients do not handle it.
Anyway, I feel chkuser should mainly be used on MX systems, and not on
relay systems, just to avoid this problem and give a clear error to all
clients.

Hello,
As you probably know there is possibility to patch simscan to give
custom error messages while forbidden attachment is being sent.
I am wondering if something similar can be done to make qmail inform
sender why his e-mail (set to 20-30 receipients _locally_) was rejected.
Currently, error message appears during "sending" and error pop-up
window is shown (for example in windows mail clients). This might be
confusing because error message tells only that there is someone among
receipients that doesn't exist. (or more than one)
Is there any patch/possibility to make qmail tell sender which e-mail
addresses are bad? I will repeat that this option would be really nice
when sending locally because smtp server responds immediately while
message is being sent (during smtp session).
If not, is there anything that can be done to make e-mails sent
locally act the same way they were sent by remote smtp server? (error
message is sent back to sender with pernament failure code instead of
rejecting local delivery with "unclear" information)
p.s.
I am sorry for typing errors.
