Hi,

I know we can have a blacklist for ip-numbers in IMail. As far as I know this 
blacklist can, sort of, be populated, by IMail when to many invalid users 
errors happen during a session but......

My ISP has found a way to do user validation on the various backup mailservers 
for all the domains they are backup for, they simply set up a session to my 
server before the data part starts overthere and see if I want to accept the 
mail based on the sender and recipient info. If I refuse because of an invalid 
user then they wil refuse the mail as well. This is a nice way where there is 
no need to set up anything on the mailservers for which they are backup. If my 
server is down they will simply accept all mail.

So.... for every mail they get with a non existent user they will try my server 
with that same user to see if the user exists. If I were to blacklist all 
servers attemting to deliver mail to non existent users I would blacklist them 
as well. I would need a whitelist overruling the blacklist. As fas as I know 
that feature is not in IMail, right?
