Uhm, is this a non-teakable behavior? In my eyes it is crucial to be able to refuse SPAM at the earliest possible moment, because for every mail you can refuse during the SMTP handshake phase, you don't have to do the explicit bounce (and receive all the double bounces of non-valid sender addresses in the first place). With all the virii and worms in the wild that just fake sender addresses, you don't really want to put this burden upon your mail server. Your queues will grow and grow with non-deliverable error bounces, slowing down your regular mail delivery. > bouncing these mails. And most of these bounces go to postmaster, > because the sender addresses are forged. > > PS: if you want collaboration, why not set up a wiki wiki? Good idea, I'll look into this!
