Per User Relaying

[Lance]

Hi Folks,

I know this isn't the best place for this question, but I'm banging my head
against the wall.

We use MailScanner + SpamAssasin and I'm still trying to switch one of our
problem domains over (200+ spams inbound per minute).

What I'm trying to do is use sendmail to reject unknown users - so I've
populated /etc/mail/access with:

To:validuser at somedomain.com             RELAY
To:validuser2 at somedomain.com            RELAY
Etc.....

Then I've added:

To:somedomain.com                       ERROR:"User Unknown"

I found this on a number of sites, so I thought it would work, but no luck
so far.

The error I get is: PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 9): 550 5.7.1
<validuser at somedomain.com>... Relaying denied

So it's not hitting the Unknown User (which gets lots of hits) but for some
reason is getting denied.

Any thoughts?

TIA,

Lance
