Hi there,
The following is an (interesting) case were the remote server denies
(or rather "postpones") some of the RCPT TO: recipient's delivery.
It appears to be related to a maximum number of recipients problem, but not quite
from the message below , so the question is:
How can I get exim to deliver the email to those it can (which the remote side said is
okay, ie 250) but retry the others (ie. the 4xx) later and report on those not
deliverable (ie. the 5xx etc.)??
I guess this might be a developers issue, as it appears to "go away" once I've dropped the
max_rcpt for the time being, though I would expect exim to notice which ones are
allowed and which ones aren't, ie. should be queued/returned.
