This may help some if the clients are spambots, which they likely are. It won't reject connections any quicker than reject_unlisted_recipient, but it won't tell the attacker what addresses aren't valid either, making a dictionary attack more difficult. But for this scenario postscreen would be better all around as it prevents the spambots from tying up multiple smtpd processes and potentially slowing down mail delivery. -- Stan
