So `exit' is just an equivalent for moving a mail to /dev/null, right?

Not quite, it's cheaper -- and in addition to that, you can choose to exit with an error code if you want the mail to bounce, see /usr/include/sysexits.h for possible codes:

# pretend the user wasn't there EXITCODE=67 exit

Not all senders grok this though, some news letter software is brain-amputated and doesn't care.

Thanks again for the explanation, Matthias.

Regards, Marcus
