Thanks  for response...

but this virtusertable will not stop SMTP server in internet to keep
send you undeliverable message.
I assume someone doing nasty with forged and use my domain email to send
his spam message to non existing user.
and i got undeliverable message.
Is there any clue ??
Oh.. i forget to mention i use 4.11-STABLE for my MX
