Not a bad idea. Unfortunately, the second server does not know about the names either. It just accepts everything. What I was going to do was create a text file with a list of names to check against and have my courierfilter do the checks. The question is partial rejects. If I get an email with two recipients, but one of them is bad, what do I do?
