It's probably the master MX that is generating the bounce, but anyway: one way you can do this is to replicate the user database (in some form) to the backup MX server, and check the validity of the destination username. We have a script that runs on the backup MX server and collates the valid recipients from the master and stores them in a local file. An ACL on the backup MX server checks against this file before accepting mail. hth, Keith -- Keith Edmunds --------------------------------------------------------------- Tiger Computing is looking for a Linux Support Consultant - see http://www.tiger-computing.co.uk/page?27 --------------------------------------------------------------- -- ## 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/
