This isn't a detailed criticism--I'm not a mail admin of a large site,
after all! However...
Can't you already do what you want with existing qmail mechanisms? For
example, suppose these spammers send mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]",
which is not a valid address.
One idea is to create the file ~alias/.qmail-whacko123 with the line:
# Drop it right now!
I'm pretty sure that solves your problem right there. If not, replace
the comment with a command like "exit 99" and qmail should discard the
mail and be satisfied.
Since you indicate that a very small number of addresses cause this
problem, the above suggestion doesn't seem like too much work. What do
you think?
Len.
