           Summary: Misleading use of 'max_rcpts' smtp transport option
           Product: Exim
           Version: N/A
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All

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.
