Thanks a lot for the hint. However, I got several follow-up problems with
that
1) I might want to specify another local part than "postmaster" (the thread
around
http://www.exim.org/mailman/htdig/exim-users/Week-of-Mon-20040823/msg00109.h
tml appears to have some arguments in this respect). How would I do that?
2) Furthermore, in my Debian exim4.43, I try to cumulate this "number of
optional parameters" for 'callout' as described in
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.40/doc/html/spec_38.html#SECT38.22
and I only get
<<5633 H=adsl-62-167-146-248.adslplus.ch (RalfHauser) [62.167.146.248]
F=<ralfhauser@???> temporarily rejected RCPT <aaaaa1@???>: bad time
value in ACL condition "verify
recipient/callout=defer_ok,random,use_postmaster">>
or if I regroup it <<bad time value in ACL condition "verify
recipient/callout=use_postmaster,defer_ok,random">>
3) on a 4.31 where I specify neither use_postmaster nor use_sender, a domain
answers with << 29833 H=217-162-236-62.dclient.hispeed.ch (DELL8600CCA)
[217.162.236.62] F=<christian@???> rejected RCPT <a.lue@???>:
response to "MAIL FROM:<christian@???>" from mailgate1.admin.ch
[162.23.37.19] was: 553 5.1.8 <christian@???>... Domain of sender
address christian@??? does not exist
29833 LOG: smtp_connection MAIN>>, so it appears to have taken use_sender
and not the empty '<>'?
4) the above then leads to a caching problem: Apparently, the chache is only
based on the recipient address and not the sender (assume that use_sender
was set), so once the domain "stgag.om" was corrected to "stgag.com", the
mail would not go through despite a.lue@??? was correct all the
time.
Any help would be hibhly appreciated!
