> I want to have the unknown recipient e-mails rejected at the mta-rx You must teach mta-rx to reject mail to unknown local recipients. One way of how to do it is described in README.sendmail-dual , search for: "To make MTA-RX reject mail for nonexistent local users by itself" As Tony Earnshaw commented, this feature comes naturally when using Postfix. > 2.

I must admit I don't know offhand how to do it with sendmail without checking the documentation (with Postfix this comes automatically). From Tonni: | Furthermore you wouldn't need a dual MTA setup. Yes, although the Postfix setup essentially _is_ a dual-MTA setup, but with a single spool and a single config file. It certainly makes things easier that way.
