Just set the option receiver_try_verify (or

that you don't have local parts "victim@target" and
"target!victim", refuse them.

Upgrade Exim. I can't be bothered looking into my 2.00 manual
(which I still have) checking the options.

Do other hosts deliver mail locally?

Oh.

One of our friendly mail servers (the 'hairy' one) got tested by
ORBS lately. I have no idea who asked ORBS to test us.
