Everyone who uses my server is too busy to peek at mail sent to root, 
webmaster, postmaster, etc. (all of which had been piped into a 
single Maildir).  And on the rare occassions I have peeked into that 
Maildir, it's all been spam and bounce messages for stuff I just 
don't care about.

Fine.  I added TMDA to these accounts.

Still no one has time to check the very few mails that end up in the  
Maildir.

Fine.  I made TMDA bounce all incoming e-mail and I provided a good 
bounce message that explained how to get a hold of a mailbox that 
someone actually watches.  I had to add some filtering, however, to 
check for bounces, otherwise I created bounce-loops.

It would be nice to have a from-domains filter source that would 
check *@=<domain> for every <domain> in a specified file.  That way I 
could do a:

from <> drop
from-domains /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts drop

as my filter and make sure I don't bother bouncing anything that came 
from me.

I was able to create a /var/qmail/alias/.tmda/lists/rcpthosts file 
with *@=<domain> versions, so I am up and running, but if I add a new 
domain later on to my /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts, I run the risk of 
forgetting to add it to my /var/qmail/alias/.tmda/lists/rcpthosts, 
thereby making a new bounce loop.  Such a feature would protect me 
from such a mistake.

Feedback requested.  If this is not a feature anyone else wants, I 
may write it myself.
