Well, I took the OP's question as another way to ask "how can avoid generating and handling bounce messages for my forwarders". Maybe I am still misreading the question. I guess my point is, most people who have problems with bounce messages don't split their regular delivery queues from their bounce delivery queues and end up with clogged systems. A lot of people attempt to use callouts to avoid the problem, which is why I brought it up, because it's usually the wrong way to solve this problem unless the callout is to a locally administered set of systems. -- Dean Brooks [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ## 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/
