I plan to get LMTP working to my taste, by (a) rejecting messages for non-existent lists at RCTP time, and (b) rejecting messages from unwanted sender addresses at RCPT time. I Think (a) will be easy to achieve, and (b) only slightly more challenging.
This sounds great. With (b) there could be multiple list-specific policies, so we should make this pluggable.
The intention is to get the policy from the list. The simplest way to do it would be to treat "reject" as an SMTP time reject, rather than a bounce. At my site, at least, I would not offer "bounce" as a choice if smtp rejection is available.
Indeed, we currently recommend that list owners don't use "reject".
