My thoughts exactly. For me, it returns an error, which in turn causes Exim/Exiscan to return a temporary error at SMTP time, and the message cannot be sent. I have all the latest versions of everything (save todays new releases of Exim and Exiscan, which sound like one or the other is broken anyway...) and I'm pretty sure it's all setup right, so I assume that's the way it works. -- Matt Systems Administrator Local Access Communications 360.330.5535 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by OSDN's Audience Survey.
