Odd thing I noticed. I telnetted to the smpt port of a machine running exim
3.22. I know for a fact that there was no user garbage at this box. So
assuming his domain was otherdom1.com (its not but I don't want to say who's
it was just yet), Here's what I got:
220 mgr2.xmission.com ESMTP Exim 3.22 #1 Thu, 16 Aug 2001 14:34:43 -0600

Subject: Reject this mail
This mail should have been rejected since there is no garbage user!

Then a couple of seconds later, that machine opens up a new smtp connection
to my box to deliver a failure notification.
