Yes, but what do you do then? If you silently drop messages, that is bad for
the reliability of e-mail. Since these receivers are people you have an
established business relationship with, I'd suggest setting up a hold queue
for such messages and then re-sending them or re-routing them as necessary
after you've determined how to get the message to them.
Good suggestion. That's kind of what I had in mind, but I haven't figured
out the details. I guess I'll modify the milter to grab anything with a <>
return address, and forward it to the box67 admin.
