Ok, it seemed like that the 550 was the correct response. How do I have Exim "accept" the message and generate a bounce??

It is correct to return a 550 code in response to invalid or otherwise unaccepted recipients. However, some broken mailers incorrectly give up the message completely. If you say 550 to an MUA, then what happens or should happen isn't quite as obvious. Traditionally, mail coming from users has been accepted and a bounce message generated if there is a problem. Some have argued that many users won't understand what a bounce message means, and that they are more likely to realise that sending failed if they get an error message immediately, in a message box. But when sending to multiple recipients at remote domains, verifying the addresses before accepting them can take rather long time, and if only some fail I guess the user can be really confused... I'm not sure if this answers your question... -- Magnus Holmgren [EMAIL PROTECTED] (No Cc of list mail needed, thanks) "Exim is better at being younger, whereas sendmail is better for Scrabble (50 point bonus for clearing your rack)" -- Dave Evans -- ## 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/
