I would like to limit the number of recipients that a message can
have.  I have two scenarios where I need this: 1) a user is spammed
with one address in TO: and a hundred in BCC:, 2) one of my users
likes to do the above to send out bulk mailings instead of using an
ezmlm list.

I found that chkuser has a variable you can set that will enforce this
(CHKUSER_RCPTLIMIT) but I can't seem to get it to work.  I checked in
the netqmail source tree and found the 'chkuser_settings.h' file and
this value was not commented so I assume it is enabled.  Then I found
a post on this list where someone said you had to set this value in
tcpserver so I added this line and rebuilt the cdb:

ww.xx.yy.60:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",RBLSMTPD="",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/simscan",CHKUSER_RCPTLIMIT="3"

However, when I send a message from the above IP, and specify 5
different addresses in the TO: field, they all try to deliver.  I
expected a bounce back with an error.

Has anyone successfully got this to work?  If so, what am I missing?

Thanks!
