Summary: Misleading use of 'max_rcpts' smtp transport option
Product: Exim
Version: N/A
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: low
Component: Documentation
AssignedTo: nigel@???
ReportedBy: ssmeenk@???
CC: exim-dev@???
The Fine Manual has a booboo that might confuse others too:
The page at:
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch45.html
reads:
| "If a message contains a number of different addresses, all those with
| the same characteristics (for example, the same envelope sender) that
| resolve to the same set of hosts, in the same order, are sent in a
| single SMTP transaction, even if they are for different domains, unless
| there are more than the setting of the max_rcpts option in the smtp
| transport allows, in which case they are split into groups containing no
| more than max_rcpts addresses each."
The option is in fact called 'max_rcpt', without the trailing 's'.
This would have been clear if the boldness stopped at the last 't' but
the entire 'max_rcpts' is boldfaced which lead me to believe that was the
correct option to use.
The smtp transport documentation at
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch30.html has
the correct 'max_rcpt', but i was satisfied reading ch45.html and copied
'max_rcpts'.
Perhaps this can be changed?
Thanks.
