[ILUG] [OT] Mail query

[Brendan Halpin]

This is not a linux issue, but it does arise because I'm "fending
for myself" in UL as a result of not doing microsoft:

Is it normal practice for a mail server to

1: silently accept mail for a non-existent local user?
2: silently accept mail for a non-existent non-local domain?
3: not pass back error messages resulting from trying to relay to a
   non-existent domain?
4: not pass back other error messages (e.g. SMTP level spam checks,
   or no-such-user at the non-local domain)?
