RE: Temp RBL /invalid recipient

[Greg Allen <sa...@floridacpu.com>]

Your subject should not be temp RBL, you started talking about temp RBL then
changed subjects to your real subject.

Regardless.

You need to configure an invalid recipient filter.

Different email servers have different ways of doing this.

Postfix has a rule too for invalid recipients.

Here is a write-up about exchange for instance.

Invalid recipient rejecting is becoming a standard on the Internet for just
the reasons you mentioned.

the OP meant he got backscatter and composed a list of "outscatters". 
not that he does backscatter.
