ripe mailserver responing 4xx
Just noticed, after I made a typo on an address the RIPE mailserver responds with 4xx temporary error on a non-existing user. Is this deliberate and why not send a 5xx permanen failure. -- aut-dbm@ripe.net SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO:<aut-dbm@ripe.net>: host postboy.ripe.net [193.0.0.201]: 450 <aut-dbm@ripe.net>: Recipient address rejected: Try again later: retry timeout exceeded -- Grtx, MarcoH

That has been fixed and server should respond with 5xx error code from now on. This is a leftover from time when we were changing mail server policy and did not want to reject legitimate by accident, but rather make sure things are working as intended... Regards, Marcin Deranek
