Thanks for the quick reply :)
I like this the most
warn domains = +local_domains
!verify = recipient
* *insert into db*
*
I changed it to
deny domains = +local_domains
!verify = recipient
* *condition = (insert insert into db statement)
message = unknown user
The problem with warn is that if the user is unknown, it still tries to
pass it onto the next ACL, which doubles up on the queries :( - This
way, if the user doesn't exist, it doesn't waste the time trying the
vrfy again :)
Many thanks for your advice.
Cheers,
Andrew
