[Mimedefang] Spam to inactive accounts

I use the virtusertable with a list of ACTIVE users (extracted from Lotus
Notes) on the incoming mail gateway.
e-mail for inactive accounts gets bounced at the door.

/etc/mail/virtusertable
   # don't relay the whole domain
   # @rmb.co.za                            %1 at smtpnotes.rmb.co.za
   # active user list
   Alberto.daSilva at rmb.co.za
   Alberto.daSilva at smtpnotes.rmb.co.za
   ads at rmb.co.za
   Alberto.daSilva at smtpnotes.rmb.co.za
   Sundeep.Naran at rmb.co.za
   Sundeep.Naran at smtpnotes.rmb.co.za
   Sean.Naude at rmb.co.za                    Sean.Naude at smtpnotes.rmb.co.za
   etc.

eg. sendmail will reply with a
   550 5.1.1 <caroline.mcdermott at rmb.co.za>... User unknown

This works like a charm.

I also use accessdb to block undesirables.
