color=#0000ff size=2>I have done this for years and believe it or not there are
still users that don't get it and keep trying. To be fair however,
outlook(express) doesn't always return the actual error text from the
MTA so they often end up calling me and I look at the log and tell them to fix
or verify the address. The place you get into trouble is when the misspelled
domain exists, but doesn't accept mail, in which case you still end of with mail
in a retry status. Of course I have a process that checks for mail in a retry
state every 15 min and send me an email when there is something
waiting.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Talking to myself here, just found one of the two things I was
talking about.<BR><BR>There's a milter called milter-chkrcpt (found using <A

the e-mail if there are no valid recipients. I'll give it a shot.<BR><BR><BR>

list,<BR><BR>I've been googling around and haven't been able to figure out
*how* to look for the following two things. Feel free to reply off-list if you
think it's not list-worthy material.<BR><BR>1. How do I change the "try to
deliver for four days and then bounce back to the sender" to, say, two days,
when using sendmail?<BR>2. Can I tell sendmail *not* to accept e-mail for
domains that have no MX (I know, "bad") or "no MX *and* no A" (not so bad)
records in DNS? How about with a milter?<BR><BR>The basic premise is that I've
recently detected a surge in users that don't seem to care about typos or that
don't believe in address books. Mail gets queued up and they don't have a clue
until hours (or days) later that they mistyped the domain name.<BR
