[Mimedefang] Spam to inactive accounts

[Richard Cooper]

The problem I am having with this solution is that most spammers do not
put the rcpt address anywhere near the to: line (I guess BCC or similar)
so virtusertable does not pick it up - we still get plenty of emails
going through our relay to Exchange and being bounced (even though the
rcpt is in virtusertable as error:nouser No such user here). I was
planning today to try putting them in access and seeing if that made any
difference, is there a difference between when access and virtusertable
check the mail?

Cheers
Ric
