[Mimedefang] Postmaster, <>, and a Backup MX

Troy,

David's reject is done after the DATA stage, and the response to the "RCPT TO:
postmaster" command is an OK code.  In your case, the connection is dropped
after the RCPT TO:, so there is no reject.

Under the circumstances you describe, his system would behave correctly - the
check for user existence works, but any attempt to send a real message to
Postmaster from <> will fail.

Best Wishes,

Paul.
