I think the parameters in bofh override these - but I think these are hard limits for the module - bofh give you the flexibility of having them fail [hard] or try later - I think the theory about having them try later was that a legitimate mail server would do so, but a bogus one wouldn't get around to it.
Going from memory of reading - not experience here though. m/ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 01, 2003 12:11 PM To: Courier Users; Mitch (WebCob) Subject: RE: [courier-users] How to reject messages that have a large number of RCPT TO Thanks Mitch. What's confusing to me is that queue.html description notes: "If necessary, courierd will create multiple delivery attempts for the same driver and host." I thought that meant that, regardless of the MAXRCPT setting, courier will still accept larger numbers, by creating multiple delivery attempts. Did I not understand that correctly? If I set it to 15 or 20, will courier outright reject any delivery attempt to more than that number?
