Exim can call forward to an SMTP server to see if it will accept a message before it's too late to reject it at SMTP time. I don't think it can do that with LMTP, though I may be wrong. So, with SMTP if Mailman were to reject a sender to a list, my MTA could reject it without causing a bounce. -- Ian Eiloart IT Services, University of Sussex _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
