A gold star for Chris and many thanks! Yes, it would appear that the Vista client is differently broken with respect to multi-line messages. Outlook only displays the last line, Vista's Microsoft Mail client just ignores them. A "control = no_multiline_responses" applied to local hosts early in the ACLs and all is well. That actually works better for our MUAs anyway, as the first 70-odd characters of the message are far more useful for reporting failures than the last line (which tends to end up being "550-if you believe this to be in error"). Many thanks for all the suggestions, Adam -- ## List details at http://lists.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/
