Perhaps you just need to add reject_unknown_recipient_domain to smtpd_recipient_restrictions?



We've had problems with users mistyping domain names, such as hotmal.com or aoil.com. And they ignore the delay warning message because they still don't notice their typo.

As far as DNS is concerned these are real domains with A records, so they don't fail reject_unknown_recipient_domain. Some of them web-redirect to the expected page, others are web squatters.

But they don't run a mail service, so connections to port 25 just time out, and the mail sits in the queue until $maximal_queue_lifetime.

I've kinda-solved this problem by adding error: transport map entries for the more common typos my users land on. I expect others will have a different list...
