SCENARIO: I am the owner of "sample.com.au". I have email accounts

[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]
PROBLEM: I am getting tonnes of spam coming through to random email
prefixes @sample.com.au. I would like to block all email sent to
@sample.com.au except for the email addresses specified above.
Hmmm... you should probably also accept [EMAIL PROTECTED]
See section 4.5.1 of RFC 2821.
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2821.html
Also, you should probably REJECT mail to invalid addresses at RCPT TO
time. This will allow people who are legitimately trying to send you
mail at a mistyped address to receive an undeliverable report, rather
than assuming the message went through.
Also also, what about BCC? SpamAssassin will not see the address, and
therefore cannot add a score based on the address.
Or what about emails
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bcc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
SpamAssassin will only analyze the email once, but you'll want to accept it for
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and reject it for [EMAIL PROTECTED] which you can't do in
SMTP after seeing the DATA anyway.
