Out of curiosity, why are you trying so hard to avoid using the "normal"
relay mechanisms?
To answer your question: yes, there are a couple of ways that you can
prevent a user from receiving mail. You could label that address a
spamtrap in 'bofh'. (Actually, you should probably have just one
spamtrap, and alias all of the accounts which you don't want to receive
mail to that account. That usually includes local users like 'apache'.)
You could also use maildrop filters (see maildropfilter(7)) in that
account's home directory to refuse mail from all senders.
Well, I'm trying so hard because here is the overall setup I'd like to
achieve :
My courierd server is set as the MX for SomeDomain.com
When it's for SomeDomain.com, anything that gets delivered to it gets
forwarded transparently to the same address at SomeDomain.org
On top of that, I'd like to act as an open relay for a selected list of
accounts, provided they identify themselves during the STMP transfer.
So in the end, none of the accounts actually receive any mail.
Do you think that's feasible with courier?
