No. Well, no Exim-imposed limit.

The documentation for syntax_errors_to mentions ths problem specifically. It shows the correct way to avoid this - the address to send errors to must avoid looping back to the same router again, causing an error loop. It suggests this: sytnax_errors_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and a new router before the redirect router: real_localuser: driver = accept check_local_user local_part_prefix = real- transport = local_delivery > Is the option skip_syntax_errors the key for this behavior? It will stop the behaviour, but also stop the error functionality working. http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.66/doc/html/spec_html/ch22.html#id2660112 Peter -- Peter Bowyer Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
