For good or ill, SMTP is a store-and-forward mechanism. The node in the process of delivering to the node which issues the rejection is no longer in a position to issue its own rejection. Instead, it must send a separate "bounce" message to the - claimed, unfortunately - sender. - Andrew -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
