Hej, chapter 32.2[0] of the specification document says: "After a 4xx SMTP response for a recipient address, the whole address is used when searching the retry rules."
In chapter 32.4 then there's an example for "rcpt_4xx" errors, that reads: "the.host.name rcpt_452 F,1h,10m" IMO these two are contradicting, as chapter 32.2 (furthered by 32.3) suggests that for 4xx recipient errors exim never uses the remote hostname to find a retry rule. So either the example is a wrong one, or chapter 32.2 should be clarified accordingly. Wishlist Item: Would it be a big hack to implement similar functionality (like rcpt_452, and the wishlisted mail_452) for unexpected connection closes? I.e. I'd need something that would match "Remote host ... closed connection in response to end of data" errors. I'm seeing this from a "Ikarus MailWall" protected host quite regularly. lg, daniel [0] http://exim.inode.at/exim-html-4.60/doc/html/spec.html/index.html#toc0259 -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
