Ok, I tried it myself, and here's what I found. RCPT TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets accepted immediately without doing a sender verify at all. All other combinations result in a sender verify which fails after a 30 second timeout. When I telnet to my own address, I get the 220 greeting immediately. When they try the sender verify, I give them at least a 30 second delay, and they close and fail the verify. Looks like I need to find out where that delay is coming from on my side. -eric -- ## 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/
