Indeed so. Obviously you don't reject the empty sender immediately after MAIL FROM:<> ; you can only do it after you've seen the address in the RCPT TO: and determined that it's an address which never sends mail. That is in fact what John is doing, and that's why I corrected Steve's mis-statement of the observed behaviour. -- dwmw2 -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
