Hi, I did some major redesign on my exim4-configuration file and would of course like to test it before setting it productive. I have a dedicated linux box for testing and stuff, so what I would like to do is to copy all mails on the productive mail server and forward it to the test box. This itself is not the problem, a router like this seems to work
exim_testing: driver = manualroute transport = remote_smtp route_list = * host.address.of.test.box unseen The problem here is the rejections of mail by the test exim. I have smtp-time spam scanning activated, as well as virus scanning. So mails would get rejected quite often. With the above setting, the productive exim would send a bounce message to the sender, if the test exim rejects the mail with a 5xx because of e.g. spam. Is there a way to tell the productive exim to ignore the 5xx return code when forwarding mails? Or, more in general, how to you guys test new configurations on "real life" mails? Thanks in advance, Wolfgang -- ## 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/
