I can guarantee you will cut down on load if you install some plugin that checks for valid recipients before the msgs hit qmail. Here's one: http://robinbowes.com/projects/check_validrcptto_cdb View it here: http://robinbowes.com/projects/check_validrcptto_cdb/browser/trunk/check_validrcptto_cdb?format=raw Save the plugin and use perldoc check_validrcptto_cdb for documentation.
