welp, I saw it once and I can't remember the syntax. the basic man page

Lionel's UCE patch has absolutly nothing to do with procmail. I'm an ISP.
people misconfig their clients all the time, and try to send with return
addresses invented by chimps with no connection to reality. the patch
makes sure mail is accepted only from return addresses with a domain part
(aka @host) that actually exists somewhere as an MX or an A record. people
simply send with a non-return address and never get replies or bounces.
Sendmail has this feature btw, and I'm trying to convince people here that
Qmail is better. it surprises me this patch exists since v1.01 but hasn.t
been assimilated by DJB, it's quite an important one...
