Hi, I now, this is a problem of configuring exim, but I think, the changed was in Cyrus (please correct me, if I am wrong): With Cyrus-IMAPD 2.2.X I had this in my exim.conf and it worked all the days (from http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/CyrusImap): # Accept valid (and reject invalid) envelope recipient adresses in cyrus domains accept domains = +cyrus_domains endpass message = ${if match{$acl_verify_message}\ {\N(?m)^\d{3} (\d\.\d\.\d .{0,120})\Z\N} \ {IMAP said: $1}{Recipient unknown/invalid}} verify = recipient/callout=random,5s Now on my new server I changed to Cyrus-IMAPD 2.3.8 and the recipient cannot by verified in this way. Delivery to Cyrus-IMAPD over lmtp (without the last line) works. Changing the time to more than 5s did not solve the problem. Because I do not want to accept mail from the internet and then have them on my server because they cannot be delivered I want to ask, if there was a change (maybe in the answer of Cyrus) and how I have to change this line in my exim.conf. Thanks! Carsten. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
