It is discussed in the access database section, page 314 in my copy. Doing the above works, but it means that you accept the message and then discard it - it seems like a waste of bandwidth. > Does the :error:nouser work for just those names not in the passwd > file? I already reject anyone not in passwd. I think, looking over the system where I have this arrangement, I mispoke, or spoke too broadly. The error:nouser setting works in virtusertable, not aliases, so you need to do some other hackery to make it work - fortunately, there are already m4 macros for all of it :) You'll need to set FEATURE(`blacklist_recipients') in sendmail.mc for this trick to work. Then in your access file, put: To:bin@ ERROR:550 This address does not send or accept email Or whatever address or error message you want. This is just a cut-n-paste, so sprinkle to taste.
