Jacco, what do you mean by "defer"? If message rejection with temporary error, it seems ridiculous. Messages should be processed immediately on arrival. You have better to look for another processing scheme, without any deferral for scanning. Just call mailscanner utility from your custom transport. > Now the obvious question is why are message defers for content > scanning being reported as error in the retry db ? Because non-error situation is "mail accepted", others are errors. -- Eugene Berdnikov -- ## 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/
