I have been seeing a lot of bounce emails to non-exist email addresses.
I saw a couple of different approach in qmail.org describing a fix for
this. One of the most popular seems to put badrcptto patch.

Any suggestion on most effective approach. Something that won't increase
the load would be preferrable. 

Throwing the email here to seek the most popular approach among this
community

Thanks a lot
