some proposed changes in the VERP section
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.62/doc/html/spec_html/index.html#toc0412
first, change the example code from:
verp_smtp:
driver = smtp
max_rcpt = 1
return_path = \
${if match {$return_path}{^(.+?)-request@your.dom.example\$}\
{$1-request=$local_part%$domain@your.dom.example}fail}
to this:
verp_smtp:
driver = smtp
max_rcpt = 1
return_path = \
${if match {$return_path}{^(.+?)-request@your.dom.example\$}\
{$1-request+$local_part=$domain@your.dom.example}fail}
rationale: the current example uses a % sign, and many internet
mailers are configured to complain about % in local parts and
reject inbound mail when it appears in a local part anywhere.
this alternative works in most places.
second, add mention of local_part_suffix and
local_part_suffix_optional as methods of fielding
returned email.
