Is this expected behavior? It's somewhat frustrating since there are
a few lists out there that got ahold of my older email addresses
(bdowney-something) and everything gets delivered no matter what.
Yes, that is expected behavior. It may only apply if you compile with
the --enable-qmail-ext configure option though.
One workaround would be to create a .qmail-bdowney-blablablah file with
the following:
|/var/qmail/bin/bouncesaying 'Nonexistent account'
All mail to that address will bounce. Of course, chkuser will still
accept the message instead of rejecting it at the SMTP level, but it's
better than having to deal with the mail.
Another option would be to just put '#' in the .qmail file to delete
the message without delivering it.
