Better: confine the autoreplies to your own domain. The danger is that spam usually carries a forged sender address, so you can place a heavy load on the person whose address is forged. And, you risk getting blacklisted. Check the exim filter specification, which provides auto-reply functionality. > thanks for any info! cheers Andy. -- Ian Eiloart IT Services, University of Sussex x3148 -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
