Hi

We run several mailing lists and other kind of public services and more
often than not some user makes a typo in their address, like
"@gemail.com" or "@hotmial.com". We've identified the most commonly
mistyped addresses and would like to block those domains at the SMTP
level. I know, this should be done on the programming side, but this is
a shared server among several companies and each has some services and
programmers of its own, and some of them are more conscious about these
kind of issues than others...

What's the easiest way to do it? Is there something like badmailfrom but
for destination addresses, not origin? 

I'm thinking about sending those domains to a fake SMTP server via
smtproutes or simply redefining their MX on our internal DNS, but both
of these solutions would be quite dirty and could lead to further
problems, so I'd rather avoid them. Would be simpler and cleaner having
a list of banned "To:" domains.

Regards,

PS: I've seen a badmailto patch somewhere. Just would like to know if
there's a way to achieve this with stock qmail-ldap, without further
patching.
