    Dear Folks,
            I have a sendmail question. I have an incoming mail server that
    doesn't know the user names and forwards everything (after virus and spam
    scan) to my production box - HP-UX 11.0, lightly patched. Sendmail is the
    SMTP. I would like to make sure that there would be *no* responses to the
    incoming mail addressed to "unknown" users, I'd like to just drop those
    messages without a trace. The one option i see is to set LUSER-RELAY to
    something that translates to /dev/null. Is tis a good idea? if it is, how
    do i do it? tia, julius
