True, and I think it's a *great* tool for people doing relay mailservers that
don't have any other list of users.

However, for me it would be a maintenance nightmare to have to edit
milter-rcptfilter every time I add a new user to the system. Eventually I'd
forget the second stem for someone, and they'd not realize it since their pop3
login would work...
