sender verification

[Jim Holland]

Hi Julian

I see that there has been some discussion earlier about the use of
milter-sender with sendmail to verify that the sender's address does exist
before accepting mail.  That then allows mail to be rejected at connection
time if the sender's address seems to be fraudulent.

I like the idea behind milter-sender, but would much prefer it to be
integrated with MailScanner rather than sendmail, so that false positives
(eg no-reply type addresses and other mail blocked due to problems that
are sure to arise) result in mail being quarantined rather than bounced.
Is this an option that you would be interested in accepting on the
wishlist for future development of MailScanner?
