Okay, so next question.. might be totally out of topic for SA.. How can I make the front-end mail server know if a email exists on the backend server.. Example.. I use qmail on my front-end.. I don't like receiving tons of invalid emails just to turn around and attempt to deliver bounces that could possibly be going to honeypots or servers that don't take mail etc.. I solved this on my own domain by using a smtp vrfy script that checks against my backend mail server.. but since the other domains don't have mailboxes on my back-end server and is only setup to relay their mail, it blindly accepts EVERYTHING for them.. any suggestions?

Thanks, Billy

Not entirely true. These options change the delivery address. If you use these and also virtusertable, you could deliver tagged mail to a different location.
