'not found' and 'over quota' checks

That actually appears to be an MTA issue, not a MailScanner issue. Sending
or rejecting mail has nothing to do with how it's queued.

Subject: 'not found' and 'over quota' checks


HI all
 Before installing Mailscanner sendmail had only one queue and his
behaviour was like to reject any mail which is for unknown user or for
user with overloaded mailbox.
Now , when I have 2 queues(thak you to MailScanner), Sendmail receives ANY
messages into Mailscanner queue without checking if user exists or it's
quota.. and only when the second instance of sendmail tries to deliver the
message to local mailer , it gets 'user not found' or 'over quota'.
 Now the question:  how can I make sendmail perform these checks BEFORE
receiving useless messages into Mailscanner queue ?


Best regards,
Andrei
