Hi Todd, thanks for your comment.
Actually that was not what i meant, my question should be: How do i make exim droping an email （NDR） on 5xx error instead of freezing and retry？ regards Thomas On Todd Lyons <[email protected]>, May 11, 2014 1:51 AM wrote: If the NDR gets a 5xx response (i.e. user doesn't exist, rejected as spam, etc) exim should then freeze the NDR. Your question is actually "If I get a temporary error (a 4xx response), how do I force exim to blackhole or redirect the message to some box I can later inspect?" I've not done this nor really thought much about it, so I don't have a solution off the top of my head. I just wanted to let you know that your issue is slightly differently than you think it is. ...Todd On Fri, May 9, 2014 at 8:14 PM, Thomas Hommers <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > my exim server acts as gateway, some email is rejected as spam by the > destination server and exim therefore creates a NDS (bounce) message. > Because a lot of the spam senders won't send with a legit sender address, > exim continues trying to send the NDR even tough the destination rejects the > email or the recipient does not exist. > > I would like to let exim try only ONCE to deliver the NDR if it's because of > previous spam rejection. > > In my mind i thought of adding a special header to the NDR (like > X-SPAM-ERROR:5.7.1) and if this header is set exim will drop the message > after delivery error instead of freeze and retry delivery. > > How could i achieve this or maybe there is another much easier way? > > Thanks for all help, > Thomas > -- > ## 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/ -- The total budget at all receivers for solving senders' problems is $0.
