It also works fine with "sendmail" if you have entries in "/etc/mail/access"
or "/etc/mail/virtusertable" which define all valid e-mail addresses. It does
however not work with "normal local" accounts e.g. an e-mail to an address
like "user@...".

My solution is to generate a list of valid local addresses and aliases
automatically and included in in "/etc/mail/access.db".

	Kind regards
