address typos don't get rejected

I'm running 10.0.1 with the usual sendmail setup. When a mail comes in with an address typo scalix sends a non-delivery error message to sendmail after four hours. I see a couple of mails in the queue if I run mailq, e.g.

Code: Select all

k3RAqKUh016043     4450 Thu Apr 27 12:52 <me@mydomain.com>
                 (Deferred: Connection refused by mydomain.com.)
                                         <x@mydomain.com>

How can I change it so the senders get a reject and not a non-delivery error?

You need to add mydomain.com to /etc/mail/local-host-names and the SMTP Relay will reject any unknown users without sending the message to sendmail.
