        Sorry, my mistake.  I misunderstood.

                 You give me a RCPT TO: the RCPT TO: is checked against my
 address database. If it is good I say OK. If it is bad I say 550 No such
 user.

Okay, now I'm really confused. I thought that most mail systems did this -- if you try to send mail to an account that doesn't exist, they respond with an error and refuse to accept the message. Thus, the mail volume goes down.

        Is there something additional that has been done here?
