Thanx for your reply.

I've read that part, but the message that I get as part of the SMTP
response ('Temporary local problem - please try later') is not
specified as message in any ACL I use. Where does this message come
from? So I don't see any way to change the SMTP response.

Apart from my problem I think that the default behaviour should be
changed and the message defined in an ACL should be default message
that can be overriden by custom messages generated in a redirect
router. Or am I wrong that a :fail: or :defer: message given in a
redirect router is primarily intended as an information for the sender
not for the logs?
