QMail ?
Qmail has the silly idea of accepting mail then bouncing it out
including domain literals blah@[ip.ip.ip.ip], a proper qmail setup
will accept the % hack but wont relay it. so you're ok in that
respect.
my mail queue is full of virus bounces thats one of the reasons i am
shifting everything to exim 4 it will reject mail at smtp if its a
bogus bounce/virus/whatever.
dropping the crap at SMTP saved me alot of hassle, rather than
accepting it then scanning it.
just my £0.02
