4.94 recipient verification
Hi,

Is there an option to configure Exim to reject mail after SMTP time rather than during?

I’m finding that, if I send a message to “bob@good.com” and “zzz@msdghbdsbgh.qwe”, the SMTP transaction fails because the 2nd address’s domain is bad. I’d like that SMTP transaction to succeed but for the sender to receive a bounce.

Thank you!

cheers,
-Felipe Gasper

Possibly your sending is operating in "submission mode", which does
what you describe because MUAs generally go wrong otherwise.
