Partly because of a possible typo in your original message. I think you were asking about two of three possible aims. Please make clear which of these you are asking about: 1) Not accepting NDRs addressed to your site. 2) Not generating NDRs, even after you've accepted email that you can't deliver. 3) Not generating NDRs, by virtue of only accepting deliverable email. Renaud pointed you to advice that you should not do (1). If you want to do this, you should do it post-data to avoid breaking other people's sender verification callouts. If you break them, you won't be able to deliver mail to their sites. You should also try to distinguish between genuine NDRs and spam blowback. For example, you could try using special return-paths, in the same vein as Sender Rewriting Scheme - BUT be aware that this will break auto-replies (like vacation messages) which use From and Reply-To headers. I suggested that you should focus on (3). You can do this by making sure that you do you spam and virus scanning at SMTP time (in ACLs), before accepting mail for delivery. Also, at RCPT time, check with call forwards that you will be able to deliver the email. > Unfortunately I am still learning Exim specifically, and if I tried to > help with config, it would be the blind leading the blind !! > > All the best > > Phil > > > _____________________________________________ > > Website Hosting from only £5.00 per month. > www.medwayhosting.com - +44 (0)1634 856965 > _____________________________________________ > > Digital & Traditional Printing, and much more > www.medwayprint.com - +44 (0)1634 281199 > _____________________________________________ -- 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/
