Is that correct?   If that is correct, then perhaps someone who is gatewaying mail to clients could answer this. How do you get all the e-mail addresses on the front end box and how do you keep it updated?   I am doing gatewaying to various Exchange and other hosting providers and do not host any mail on my site. So am I correct in assuming that this solution will not work in my setup?   If you use a newer version of Postfix, you can use recipient address verification.  See http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_VERIFICATION_README.html#recipient for details.  However, the receiving mail server needs to respond properly.  If Exchange is set to blindly accept all forwarded mail and then bounce mail sent to invalid accounts, then it will always respond positively to verification queries, thus defeating the purpose of recipient address verification.   Bill
