Well, not really, 'cause I haven't gotten that far, at least not to the point of multiple-recip per-user checks actually working at end-of-DATA :) > i'm (re-re-)reading your response in light of the Q i'd had abt DNSBL checks > -- > early/global vs late/user-specific -- and haven't a clue! > What I meant was, when an item is attempted to multiple recipients, and all the recipients allow it pre-DATA per their preferences, how do you handle per-user checks at end-of-DATA when there are multiple recipients?

It's either that, or quarantine the item for each of the rejected recipients and not send a fakereject, or do both. One problem with the fakereject approach, which I realize should be easy to get around, is how do you tell the sender what rcpts were rejected? With the old mish-mosh setup I had (pre-exim), this was really difficult, but in exim, you could save the rejected rcpts and include them in the rejection text. -- -------------------------------------------------------- Dave Lugo [EMAIL PROTECTED] LC Unit #260 TINLC Have you hugged your firewall today?
