I also did a search on the exact text you show and found it in the source on our server. Postfix defaults to a 450 to prevent rejecting messages if the recipient tables were not set up properly. That way messages would get deferred instead of rejected. They would need to add: unknown_address_reject_code = 550 in Postfix's configuration file. ------- _|_ (_| | -- ## 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/
