Note that both Postfix and qmail are immune to this problem even though the
smtpd daemon answer "250" to the RCPT TO command. Due ot the architecture
of both programs, smtpd has no way to validate or not the "user" part of
the address and the mail will bounce (i.e. il will NOT be relayed).

Exim doesn't seem to be vulnerable (dixit P. Hazel in a discussion accross
postfix and exim mailing-lists).
