Using header_checks for this is unreliable; there is no guarantee the recipient will be listed in the To: header. You're not listed in To: in this message, but you receive it anyway. You can use HOLD with a check_recipient_access map reliably, that's another good way to temporarily pause delivery. -- Noel Jones
