That's not possible is it? I wanted to use the same feature (mailfrom=) in sender verification to use something else then the bounce user in de 'mail from', but this option only seems to be available in 'header_sender' when checking senders .. Why? ... (why can't it be used for 'verify = sender/ callout=mailfrom=blabla....' ) Yours, Chris On Oct 22, 2008, at 1:04 PM, Alain Williams wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to understand the reason why exim has decided to fail > sender verification, so that I can say something to the sys admin at > the > sending site.
