I assume you mean rejecting at rcpt.to time - we're going to pipe port 25 
straight to mooneye so it can do the rejecting and mail delivering. Doing 
some rejecting on marblefish would probably be possible with some cronned 
rsync scripts to bring across aliases and the list of users.

I used to have a policy of I Don't Do Mail(tm) since that way I wouldn't 
break things and cause mail to be lost, unfortunately getting a job 
including running a mail server I don't have this luxury any more.
