Cute idea, but I don't like the implementation much -- it would be better for it to be available in a general fashion from ACLs. In particular, if I were to use it I'd want to use it _only_ for senders which are known to be SPF-afflicted. Those who didn't choose to break their email shouldn't get the 551 error. -- dwmw2 -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
