I think the only problem you have to watch out for (and it isn't relevant to this context) is where you accept a message for delivery, then neither deliver it, nor send a failure notification to the sender address. If a (SMTP time) rejected message goes unnoticed by the sender, then it's some upstream system that's screwed up. > Regards, > Jeroen -- Ian Eiloart IT Services, University of Sussex x3148 -- ## 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://wiki.exim.org/
