There's really no way I can think of to prevent Exim from at least creating a spool file at least for a very short period of time. However, one alternative would be to add a condition on your router that says: condition = ${if first_delivery} The second time the message is processed, regardless of the retry time, the router will pass and will presumably hit the end of your list of routers and fail. -- Dean Brooks [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ## 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/
