Hum... I tested with yahoo mail and it worked; but maybe they don't verify the sender... > Put that aside and assume you change it to :blackhole: the message is > silently discarded without any further info.

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.

Maybe could there be a way to check if the email is one of our members before sending the autoreply...? Thx, JD __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
