It sounds like you might be having this problem with an MUA submission, and you're responding to the bogus address with a 5xx failure in the RCPT acl. Generally speaking, MUAs can not be trusted to handle 4xx or 5xx failures correctly, leading to things like infinite retries from the MUA outbox. For this reason, it's usually preferred to accept and bounce in local submission mode. Just make sure you've got a confirmed envelope-from address to send a bounce to before accepting the message. A good way to do that is to require authenticated submission, and use control=submission to have exim rewrite the envelope-from address to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Marc -- ## 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/
