Ok, thanks. I had thought that the verify was to verify whether the recpient
email address existed, but actually its to verify whether the email address
is deliverable? I think you are telling me that if the user is a catch all
then the any address to the domain is deliverable and therefore the
verify=recipient is doing what its meant to do.
I suppose the only alternative is to turn of the catch all behaviour? My
exim is using
mysql, I guess the relavent config is in the "forwarder" table? Mine looks
something
like this
mysql> select * from forwarder where domain_name = "domainname.com";
+---------------------------+------------+--------------------------------+
| domain_name | local_part | remote_name |
+---------------------------+------------+--------------------------------+
| domainname.com | _default_ | info@??? |
| domainname.com | _spam_ | spam@??? |
+---------------------------+------------+--------------------------------+
Would I delete the _default_ record?
Sorry if i seem dumb! Ive used exim a little but only know bits and
pieces...
thanks Andy.
