So will the FILTER action accept an empty nexthop (and determine the nexthop from the recipient address domain) IF I change the smtp_helo_name? We tested this and came to the conclusion that it doesn't work, but I don't have the logs anymore, and I couldn't swear we didn't make a mistake and didn't have the smtp_helo_name changed at that moment. > Wietse Rainer -- Software Developer Inxmail GmbH [EMAIL PROTECTED], www.inxmail.de Handelsregister Freiburg, HRB 5870 Ust.-ID: DE198371679 Geschäftsleitung: Martin Bucher, Peter Ziras
