Use your favorite search engine for: recipient address validation.

Thank you,
If I want to implement this prevention method (dictionary attack
prevention), then how can I do it?
I understood the concept but I still don't know how to implement it.
Please help.

Justin.

First implement recipient verification! Where are your valid e-mail addresses defined?
- Local with /etc/passwd and /etc/aliases?
- Virtual with LDAP or some other form of database?
- Is this machine a relay for some backend mailstore?

Show your "postconf -n" output and some log entries from a connection with a invalid e-mail address.

Regards

Andreas
