The concept was that zombies don't queue and re-try.  However our logs
recently have evidence that now they do re-try.

Um.... that doesn't cut them off after two hits, it just causes the
server to pause before acknowledging each subsequent recipient the client
asks for in that session.


Right.  I quoted the wrong section.  This is what does it, where
nn.nn.nn.nn are numeric IPs of a few local mailing list hosts that
I am not revealing here:

LOCAL_CONFIG
Karith arith
C{listhost} nn.nn.nn.nn nn.nn.nn.nn
LOCAL_RULESETS
SLocal_check_rcpt
R$*                     $: $1 $| $&{client_addr}
R$* $| $={listhost}     $@ OK
R$* $| $*               $: $1 $| $( arith l $@ $&{nbadrcpts} $@ 3 $)
R$* $| FALSE            $#error $: 450 Too many bad recipients
