Hi! Recently I came by a very strange effect: Outlook does not alert the user if the destination mail address does not exist.
If you are using Outlook 2007 or 2010 to send a mail using SMTP-Auth from a user test@testdomain to a non-existing mailbox nosuchmail@testdomain, exim will return: 550 unknown local-part <nosuchmehl> in the SMTP dialog. Here's the log file: 2011-06-23 21:21:38 H=somehost (windog) [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] I=[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]:25 F=<test@testdomain> rejected RCPT <nosuchmail@testdomain>: unknown local-part <nosuchmail> But: Outlook 2007 or 2010 ignores this error: It does not raise an error, it does not return a failed mail, nothing. It happily sits there and says: everything's OK. Anyone ever heard about it ? Does anyone know a fix for this ? How can one configure Outlook to alert the user about the 550 response ? -- [email protected] +49 171 3101372 9 years to go ! -- ## List details at https://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/
