Thanks to Chris S and Jeremy H for the helpful replies. Just to clarify - this is my own system, not a university system. I signed up to exim-users with my university address because I wanted to configure my own system with exim :-)
But I guess I could run another server on a different IPv6 address (assuming that Google rate-limit individual addresses, rather than address blocks as I would do!). >> One of my users has her mail forwarded to gmail, and since gmail >> (correctly) recognizes that lots of it is spam, it rate-limits me in >> my attempts to send it > > A) be more careful about accepting this spam in the first place Not really on. I don't want my system deciding what's spam. I do greylisting, but everything else addressed to me (with occasional sporadic spam-flood exceptions) comes to me for manual review, with varying degrees of attention. I do this because I'm one of those people who doesn't trust anybody's mail system, not even mine. My users (all two of them) think the same. > B) get complicated with a redirect router early in the chain, > conditioned on gmail being the target and, via an acl expansion > returning the result of a ratelimt condition; redirecting > to :defer: Thanks, that sounds like the hint I was looking for. -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336. -- ## 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/
