This is usually done by qmail-smtpd before it gets to Q-S. The way you do it depends on how your system is configured. I use vpopmail as the final delivery agent so I have patched my qmail-smtpd with the chkuser patch so that it consults vpopmail to determine if the account exists and is active before accepting the message. -- Ed. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
