Yes, it can be done, I am doing it. The catch is, you can't do the reject at
SMTP time. It has to be done in the DATA ACL. As a result, when I run the
check, I add an X header to the mail, then divert it to a holding pen account.
(No bounces! Otherwise, the secondary would be overwhelmed and probably stop
providing the free service.) No complaints so far, but I haven't got that
many users.
I can share my recipe with the list if people want.
