As with most things MIMEDefang related, the control is yours because MD is
just a great framework for solving poroblems.
If the other server is down, your $answer is going to be a TEMPFAIL.
If you have a TEMPFAIL and you want to queue it up on the server, change the
answer to CONTINUE like so:
if ($recip =~ /[EMAIL PROTECTED]>?$/i) {
($answer, $explanation) = md_check_against_smtp_server($sender, $recip,
"helo string", "the other server");
if ($answer eq 'TEMPFAIL') {
$answer = 'CONTINUE';
}
return ($answer, $explanation);
}
However, if you are using exchange, I really do recomment the access db file
via LDAP. It works very well and with much lower resource usage.

Just a quick question, a quick search didnt render any hits.
In the situation as described on:
http://www.mimedefang.org/kwiki/index.cgi?RelayCheckAddresses
What happens during this check if the remote smtp server is down?
Would it tempfail the message or outright bounce?
If it tempfails, its an easy solution to a previously complicated ldap
export and reformat.
Im trying to determine if I should query our internal mail server for
actual valid addresses live if this can tempfail, or just use a file
based db and export out the address via ldap.
