Re: chkuser - rejects legit mail, when followed by bad e-mail

If I understand this correctly, I think this is the nature of the beast. 
If you send an email to multiple addresses at the same server/domain, 
some of which are good, and others which are not, the smtp protocol only 
allows for rejection or acceptance of the entire message, somewhat 
unfortunately. Qmail remedies the situation by sending messages 
individually, but this doesn't solve the problem of other servers 
sending a mix of valid and invalid addresses in the same message.

Also, addresses are processed by chkuser in whatever order the sending 
server provides them. Sequence is of no significance.
