So then now instead of mail to misspelled domains, instead of bouncing, now goes to /dev/null and you have no idea that your critically important piece of information didn't get through?
Well, it drops the data channel.. So it should still bounce back, but regardless.. The remote side returns user unknown when I have sendmail do it: Sep 15 20:48:23 devnull sendmail[626]: h8G1mEH6000624: to=<blah@lkjasdflkjasdlf.com>, ctladdr=<netmask@devnull.domain.com> (500/500), delay=00:00:09, xdelay=00:00:09, mailer=esmtp, pri=30324, relay=lkjasdflkjasdlf.com. [64.94.110.11], dsn=5.1.1, stat=User unknown Either way.. I don't trust verisign.. I didn't trust them when we were forced to use them in the mid-90's, and I certainly don't trust them today. I read that last message regarding the SSL certs.. I don't think they would go that far.. but, I didn't think they would go this far either. Verisign and SCO should team up, they could both win awards on lack of ethics.
