Ah! I didn't realise that. I guess that has the disadvantage that good
recipients get dropped with the bad ones, so if I send email to three
people in the same domain, and one is undeliverable, then the other two
don't get it either. Great for spam, but bad for genuine senders.
Still not right. If the sender is a legit mailserver, it will mark the
bad address as 5xx'd, bounce it, and requeue the message with the other
two addresses for a resend attempt.
It's a waste of resources, and I don't recommend using drop in the rcpt
acl unless you've got enough evidence to be pretty certain the sender is
a trojaned windows spamserver (ie: 20 bad RCPTs on one message, that
kind of thing), but drop in RCPT should never lose any legitimate mail.
