This is really bad in the quota case, one failed quota, message is bounced for all recips, and generally really annoying when sending outbound mail and you typo one address. The solution is to remove the m option from the F= on Mlocal, and I believe we should do this for the general FreeBSD case, and perhaps make a note that if you are planning on extremely high volume mail services you might want to put it back. (Although in that case, I would think one would deliver to the queue first anyway, and let sendmail do its thing, in which case it shouldnt hurt too badly).
