i have a problem. my qmail queue is approaching 3,000 mails and 99% of them are not for my users. is there any way to tell qmail to deliver/accept mail *for* only a few domain? as far as i know, rcpthosts is only good for limiting the sender. i want to limit the TO:

i also still want my users to be able to send mail to any location ie hotmail yahoo etc

example:

an email that was like:
FROM:fakeaddress@fakeaddress.com
TO:someone@notonmydomain.com
would get filtered

FROM:someone@notonmydomain.com
TO:someone@onmydomain.com
would be delievered just fine

FROM:someone@onmydomain.com
TO:someone@notonmydomain.com
would be delivered

it is also not bouncing correctly. if a bounce bounces (2bounce, is this called?), then it gets stuck in the queue. i want the mailt to be deleted if it 2bounces

resolved

apparently webmin was lying to me saying that i could specify wildcards by prefacing the domain with a period. by doing this, qmail wasnt accepting mail to the domain that was being prefaced.

all i did was list my domains in the rcpthosts and viola, it's now not a fully open relay mail server
