Ok, I had
deny message = unrouteable address
!verify = recipient
which I just changed to
deny message = unrouteable address
!verify = recipient/callout=2m,defer_ok,random
I assume the defer_ok is what I want to avoid rejecting valid mail
that I cannot verify due to the main MX being down for some reason...
However, after I did this, I could not send to the exim list! (I
also tried without the random).
What am I missing?
Thanks
Chad
