Anyone using MIMEDefang w/MailScanner to verify TO: address is valid

[Randal, Phil]

Please  tell us more about your setup.
 
Specs of the box, what OS, etc.
 
Do you have RBLs in your MTA, MailScanner or just in SA?
 
Have you run sa-update recently?  The completewhois RBLs were removed
not long ago because of timeouts.
 
Local caching DNS server on the same box?  If not, do it now!
 
Cheers,
 
Phil

	I am getting over 20,000 messages every day now, and only 3-5%
are not spam. MailScanner is working great, however during the day it
gets backed up to the point that it takes over an hour to get a message
in or out. 

	I was told that I could use MIMEDefang to verify that the TO:
address is actually a vaild user. I am not quite sure how I would write
such a filter. If anyone has a working mimedefang-filter for this
situation, can you please send it my way?
