I realy think qpsmtpd is a little useless right now without a plugin wich checks if an e-mail address is correct on the local system!

There are other ways.

I love qpsmtpd, but the main thing is that there are too many bounces because qpsmtpd accepts email for every local domain and qmail rejects unknown e-mail addresses and sends bounces back ...

Have a look at the following core plugins:

check_badmailfrom
check_badrcptto_patterns
check_badrcptto
check_spamhelo
check_goodrcptto extn -

You will need to generate the lists of users and domains, but that is unlikely to be hard and can certainly be automated (as we do in the SME Server). With appropriate configuration of those you can eliminate back-scatter.

I looked into check_delivery and had similar reservations to those expressed by John earlier in this thread. The above set of plugins provide most, though admittedly not all, of the features of check_delivery.

Thanks,

Gordon
