Hi, I've seen that simular questions have been discussed here, but I'm not sure if this problem is the same (sorry if yes and I just didn't get it): I'm runnung sendmail 8.12.3 with cyrusv2 local mailer (Debian woody standard package) and cyrus 2.1.17 (backport from http://people.debian.org/~hmh/). Today I had a heavy spam attack caused by the fact, that sendmail accepts mails for non existing users. EMails to unknown accounts on local domains (local-host-names) will be accepted and than bounced. Is there a way to stop/reject these mails at "rcpt to: user unknown"-point?
