I don't know how to do it with Courier as I use Postfix - and if you ask
your question on the Postfix-ML, which is IMHO *the* ML with the most
knowledgeable mail admins ever seen, you will receive exactly the same
answer:
Don't do it!

Use things like sender verification, RBLs and alike but don't reject
mails from <>!

See, let's assume you reject mails from <>. You write a mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] You ment juri but you wrote jiri. Your mail cannot
be delivered at my site, so my mail server writes a mail from <> to you,
explaining that jiri isn't a valid user and your mail could *not* be
delivered. You will never receive this bounce, 'cause you rejected all
mails from <>. So you will assume that I received your mail.
Now think about a very important businuess mail you wanted to send and
you wonder, why I don't like you proposal...

Cheers,
Juri
