Why would you want to accept the message and them process it? Keep
using
chkuser to reject at the smtp level for "no such users" and setup
simscan to query spamassassin / clamav and also reject virus/spam at
the
smtp level as well. This way the responsibility is back on the sending
server and not yours and they, not you will be likely to hit a spam
trap
and end up in places such as SORBS, SPEWS and Spamcop etc.
.... what I neglected to mention was the way we receive mail - this is a
non-internet host that picks up mails from our real SMTP server from an
ISP using fetchmail which in turn forwards them to this box. Historical
baggage really but for reasons I wont bother to go into we cant change
this. So we cant do anything at the SMTP level because we have to deal
with it! :(
