Sendmail + DBMail + ""Early Bounce""

Sendmail + DBMail + ""Early Bounce""

Hi!

I ran into very big problem using Sendmail+DBMail because it only
allows a late bouncing of mis-addressed messages for my domains. So if
my SMTP-server recieves such message with spamtrap as return address
it gets blacklisted by appropriate RBL (e.g. SPAMCOP).

Is it possible to modify 'check_rcpt' ruleset to check recipient's
email against DBMail user database to force Sendmail to make an early
bounce?

As far as I know DBMail itself does not supply SMTP-server with such
feature.

I also could not find this problem discussion in Usenet or DBMail
maillist.

Dough!

I don't know if that is possible or not, but probably. I'd say that you
could create a program map that could check DBMail for valid recipients
somehow and integrate that test somewhere in your config, possibly in
'check_rcpt'.
