Still not right. If the sender is a legit mailserver, it will mark the
bad address as 5xx'd, bounce it, and requeue the message with the other
two addresses for a resend attempt.
It's a waste of resources, and I don't recommend using drop in the rcpt
acl unless you've got enough evidence to be pretty certain the sender is
a trojaned windows spamserver (ie: 20 bad RCPTs on one message, that
kind of thing), but drop in RCPT should never lose any legitimate mail.
