so you want a postfix config change with smtpd_recipient_restrictions
gaining an check_recipient_access with the old @opensc-project.org
addresses listed with REJECT "Some nice information" ?

shouldn't be much work. If you haven't updated the email address in
your contact list for that many years, this could force you do to that.

you want to annoy all the people that did update to the new email
address in favor of a handfull of people that didn't? not a nice move.

wow, that will be such a much better situation. instead of gettign A
and a duplicate B you will get B and a duplicate A? I think shakespear

in the past every developer had an email alias @opensc-project.org,
and a few people still use them. also there is bugs@ and webmaster@
etc.

why annoy everyone with a change that (at least it looks to me) will
not improve the situation at all?

we could simply drop the old email addresses without "lists." with
a reject containing the "new" name (introduced in 2004 or so?).
