I thought I might pick your brains one more time. CONFIRM_CC is working 
great, *but* I am getting a lot of unnecessary spam messages in the 
CONFIRM_CC mailbox. It appears that a message will come in with multiple 
invalid email addresses, and a separate message is generated for each one 
when using CONFIRM_CC. Thus, in my inbox, I may have a dozen copies of an 
email, none of which have a valid address. Is there a way within qmail or 
TMDA to verify an address prior to the system running CONFIRM_CC?

I have done some prefiltering prior to the messages reaching CONFIRM_CC, 
i.e. qtrap script which matches on keywords, and I did at one time use 
SpamAssassin, but I had an occasional business-related message that got 
trapped that I was unaware of.

FYI, I really appreciate TMDA. I turned it off for a couple weeks until I 
was able to keep it from challenging spamcop (an hence blacklisting my 
server), and I got a taste of what things used to be like in the pre-TMDA 
days. Thanks all. Al
