Hi,

In our exim configuration we use the MIME ACL to refuse mail containing 
attachments with specific extensions, which has been working happily for 
some time. Unfortunately, we've now run across a problem with this technique 
when "Vista Mail" (Windows Vista's replacement for Outlook Express) is being 
used as the MUA for a local client.

Errors created during the RCPT ACL are correctly handled, with Vista Mail 
returning the error message from exim to the client. However if the reject 
occurs later in the process (in this specific case during the MIME ACL) 
Vista Mail silently ignores the fact that a 550 was returned and simply 
moves the outgoing mail in to the "Sent Items" folder with no indication to 
the user that the mail has not been sent.

Any suggestions as to how to handle this would be greatly appreciated. I'd 
really rather not exempt local clients from the relevant ACLs and telling my 
boss he can't use Vista Mail is also sadly not an option.

Thanks,

Adam
