Hello,

at this moment, we have a big problem with a lot of bounces.

We have two delivery cases in our exim setup:

1. an email is sent to a mailbox directly (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED])

2. an email is sent to <anything>@domain.com and routed to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

In the first case I think, that exim delivers the message in realtime 
all the time (at least I hope so), so in case the mailbox is full, the 
sender receives an SMTP-error during the SMTP-session in which he tried 
to deliver the message to us.

In the second case, exim is configured to accept emails for 
<anything>@domain.com in case the mailbox [EMAIL PROTECTED] exists. So 
in the first step I think exim accepts it and queues it and in the 
second step it tries to deliver it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] But if the 
mailbox is full, then the SMTP-session has already been closed, so a 
bounce needs to be send.

How can I tell exim to do realtime deliveries in all cases? The internal 
deliveries are done by LMTP to a cyrus server. So in case the mailbox is 
full, a permanent error shall be send to the SMTP-session. In case the 
LMTP-server is not accessible, a temporary error shall be sent to the 
SMTP-session. But in no cases they mail shall be queued if something is 
wrong so that we have to send a bounce message.

Regards
Marten
