I don't see where ASSP does any recipient address validation to
ward-off dictionary attacks.  There was some mention of LDAP
validation, but only a passing reference - I didn't see anything in
the docs or config file about it.

If a spammer sends a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and ddd does not exist for
that domain on your real MTA, how does ASSP know that and drop/reject
that connection, saving cycles for your real MTA?

Thanks,
