Scenario: 2 computers, A and B A's email address = [EMAIL PROTECTED] B's email address = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Both are setup to correctly SMTP AUTH using their respective email accounts. Both are in Texas and Georgia, respectively. Exim rate limit settings: defer message = Sorry, too fast. ratelimit = 3 / 1h / per_rcpt / $authenticated_id The problem? If Computer A sends 4 messages (or a message with 4 recipients) and gets rate limited, Computer B, that is very far away, has a separate email account all together, and a different IP address, also gets rate limited! Computer B cannot send an email at all. I think for some reason exim is limiting the entire domain, but it is not supposed to act that way. Why is it doing that, and more importantly, how can I stop it from doing that? I want it to limit per email address, not the entire domain. I have tried with and without the $authenticated_id key. It doesn't seem to make a difference. Here are the Exim logs regarding the rejections: 2008-04-04 23:55:28 H=localhost ([192.168.1.7]) [127.0.0.1] F=[3]<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> temporarily rejected RCPT [4]<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 2008-04-04 23:55:35 H=localhost ([192.168.1.2]) [127.0.0.1] F=[5]<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> temporarily rejected RCPT [6]<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 2008-04-04 23:55:36 H=localhost ([192.168.1.7]) [127.0.0.1] incomplete transaction (QUIT) from [7]<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2008-04-04 23:55:37 H=localhost ([192.168.1.2]) [127.0.0.1] incomplete transaction (QUIT) from [8]<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Help!
