Yes, we originally thought about the no_verify option. This will not really
work for our situation as there really are no local users and we want a
proper user unknown when mail is for an unknown user. We could turn off
verify = recipient in the smtp access list, but then unknown users become
unroutable address.
This new solution is acceptable to all on our project team, so again thanks.
