John Simpson, Jonathan de Boyne Pollard, http://iecc.com./bad-rcpt-noisy-patch.txt http://patch.be./qmail/ http://multivac.cwru.edu./qmail/#realrcptto http://www.seacon.co.uk./software/qmuser.html http://www.fehcom.de./qmail/qmail.html http://netdevice.com./qmail/rcptck/ http://qmail.jms1.net/


Employ either Ward Vandewege's or John R Levine's "badrcptto" 
extensions to "qmail".  The latter introduces a 
"control/badrcptto" file, exactly analogous to 
"control/badmailfrom".  The former introduces both a 
"control/badrcptto" and a "control/morebadrcptto" file, with 
the latter compiled into a "control/morebadrcptto.cdb" database 
by a new "qmail-newbrt" program.
You can also employ Paul Jarc's "realrcptto" extension, 
SeaCon's "qmuser" extension, Erwin Hoffmann's "RECIPIENTS" 
extension, or John Simpson's "validrcptto.cdb" extension.  These each
employ a different mechanism for semi-automatically determining, from
existing control files, what local parts are valid.  These mechanisms
are not suitable for all cases and so may or may not be suitable to one's 
particular requirements.
