Hi, While investigating a kmail problem, I noticed that our courier server sends the error code 431 Too many recipients. if there are > maxrcpts receipients in a mail.
Now, 4xx error codes are for temporary errors. I found this piece of code in courier: courier/submit.C- std::cout << (max_bofh_ishard courier/submit.C: ? "531 Too many recipients." courier/submit.C: : "431 Too many recipients.") courier/submit.C- << std::endl << std::flush; Now, I don't understand that. It seems one can set "hard" and "soft" limits for maxrcpts (although I don't find anything documented about it). What should that mean? What's a soft limit for maxrcpts? A 4xx error should mean for the user that just sending the same mail later again will work (RFC 2821), so from what I can see, it should always be 531. If I'm wrong, please explain me why. -- Hanno Böck Blog: http://www.hboeck.de/ GPG: 3DBD3B20 Jabber/Mail: ha...@hboeck.de http://schokokeks.org - professional webhosting
