Ok, thanks. I had thought that the verify was to verify whether the recpient email address existed, but actually its to verify whether the email address is deliverable? I think you are telling me that if the user is a catch all then the any address to the domain is deliverable and therefore the verify=recipient is doing what its meant to do. I suppose the only alternative is to turn of the catch all behaviour? My exim is using mysql, I guess the relavent config is in the "forwarder" table? Mine looks something like this
mysql> select * from forwarder where domain_name = "domainname.com"; +---------------------------+------------+--------------------------------+ | domain_name | local_part | remote_name | +---------------------------+------------+--------------------------------+ | domainname.com | _default_ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | domainname.com | _spam_ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | +---------------------------+------------+--------------------------------+ Would I delete the _default_ record? Sorry if i seem dumb! Ive used exim a little but only know bits and pieces... thanks Andy. >Then verify=recipient is working just fine - if mail to an unknown >address is deliverable, then it verifies. > >What behaviour is the user expecting for mail which arrives for an >unknown recipient - delivery or rejection?
