Subject: Re: [exim] Serious help with exim config needed quickly ... I'mfilling up with frozen messages
I do apologize to everyone for not minimizing my sent information. I'm
running around talking on the phone to five different people, checking this
and that, watching log files, etc.

I know it is no excuse, I can only hope others who have been there know that
in the heat of the moment you aren't always thinking about such items.

Regardless, I am sorry for the excess. I made a mistake. If this had been a
normal run of the mill question and not an "oh crap things are broke and
people are screaming and I slept two hours last night" kind of morning this
would not have happened.

I hope those on the list will forgive me and consider providing any
assistance possible.

Steve

Well ignoring http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/DontObfuscate for now, have you
tried adding "require verify = recipient" somewhere in your "RCPT" ACL?

e.g.

that's probably a good point to add it.
