This indicates that you are not doing the rate limiting on new messages as well. > So it looks as if they didn't care messages were being passed with exim > -bd -qq option but then I noticed: > > 2006-08-31 20:08:22 J4VJHA-00020O-B7 => EMAIL_ADDRESS R=dnslookup > T=remote_smtp H=mx6.go2.pl [193.17.41.46] > 2006-08-31 20:08:22 J4VJHA-00020O-B7 Completed > 2006-08-31 20:08:24 J4VJH9-00020O-3X => EMAIL_ADDRESS R=dnslookup > T=remote_smtp H=mx6.go2.pl [193.17.41.46]* > 2006-08-31 20:08:24 J4VJH9-00020O-3X Completed The * indicates that the subsequent deliveries were made on a single conenction, yes. That part is working. By default, exim tries to immediately deliver a new message. You want to queue messages for this provider to prevent this. The simplest is probably an acl with control = queue based on some lookup (dnsdb for MX matches some regex of their inbound MX'es is probably the simplest, but TMTOWTDI) -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | Tact, n.: The unsaid part of what | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | you're thinking. | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- ## 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/
