Wow that is awesome, 100K+ attempts a day is totally beyond what I
experience, not even 1K attempts a day. Even so I quite like less-ing
through my maillog and smiling at the NOQUEUEs.

I guess you made it on to some list that never gets cleaned, no wonder
you have it in for qmail ;-)

Ah well the advice is still good. Deciding you don't want the mail at
SMTP time is the golden solution everyone agrees, comparing against a
domainwide userlist is the way whether it is done with mimedefang or
some script that collates usernames. My mail setup is so small that I
have /etc/aliases to control users and that's the end of it. I guess
that's at the heart of why sendmail complexity has no payback for me but
does for you.
