Hum...  I tested with yahoo mail and it worked; but maybe they don't verify the 
sender...

I don't need to include the orginal message; I just need a simple static 
message (a few lines in a few languages) telling users that this email has been 
ignored and to use the website instead.
Is there a way to generate an autoreply with :blackhole: ?
By autoreply, you mean things like bounce_message_file or warn_message_file to 
do it?
Sorry, I am still a bit by exim's syntax.  If you know of an example

Does that mean that there are no "clean" solutions (appart from blocking 
mailinglists emails)...?
Maybe could there be a way to check if the email is one of our members before 
sending the autoreply...?

Thx,
