    Hey Richard,

    I just switched from your Courier setup to the Dovecot setup. I started getting messages like this:

    May 24 16:18:17 autoreply postfix/smtpd[9133]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from itspmx3.zzz.ms.us[999.12.20.50]: 451 4.
    3.0 <bwcassoc.comchad.allen@peer.zzz.ms.us>: Temporary lookup failure; from=<djackson@cvm.tamu.edu> to=<bwcassoc
    .comchad.allen@peer.zzz.ms.us> proto=ESMTP helo=<itspmx3.zzz.ms.us>

    for each bad address. How can I change the temporary failure to a permanent failure?

    Larry, I have no clue to be honest. Every now and then I clear the queue manually of these things. Has nothing to do with Dovecot, this is postfix realted.

    I've implemented a catchall address to accept all the junk and throw it away hourly.
