Subject: MailScanner/Sendmail Gateway LDAP

Is there a configuration which would allow "unknown users" to be
rejected at the smtp level of the mail gateway, using LDAP to check
recipient addresses from the 'inside' mail host? Much of the spam makes
it's way past MailScanner/Spamassasin resulting in "unknown user" bounce
messages being generated by the 'inside' host, rather than being
rejected at smtp level where the sending mailserver would have to deal
with the error.

Can't seem to get it to work or find a resource with config examples.

Thanks.
