Gordon, could one potentially change the replies after the first RCPT TO to 4xx 
responses, to ensure the incoming message is being delivered to exactly one 
user? Admittedly, this would require a change inside courier itself (unless 
MAXRCPT applies to incoming SMTP transactions too?), and I could see poorly 
implemented SMTP servers trying to deliver getting gummed up by it…

Bernd, in practice, what I’ve found is taking the most lenient spam filtering 
threshold for a group of recipients “generally” works. Most spam we’ve seen 
coming in to multiple users gets delivered over multiple connections, not in 
one batch.
