At first I might suspect that your email software must have truncated my 
posts, but you included the EXACT examples I gave when you included my 
entire message in your first reply: those two lines with the example list 
address in them are precisely what you'd add to either one of the two MTA 
config files (if you run sendmail), excepting for any content change you'd 
want to make to them (like actual valid webpage and email address).


In any event, by using the MTA to do this, you'll reduce network traffic 
and processing load for yourself, since you won't be accepting the entire 
message in order to reject it, and your server isn't _delivering_ anything 
(possibly to bogus addresses), since the MTA is just returning an error 
message, and the host trying to send to you is the one left relaying that 
to the sender.
