Only a single host name may be given, but if looking it up yields more than
one IP address, they are each tried in turn until a connection is made. For
both kinds of socket, Exim makes a connection, writes the request string
-(unless it is an empty string) and reads from the socket until an end-of-file
+unless it is an empty string; and no terminating NUL is ever sent)
+and reads from the socket until an end-of-file
is read. A timeout of 5 seconds is applied. Additional, optional arguments
extend what can be done. Firstly, you can vary the timeout. For example:
.code
.row &%bounce_message_file%& "content of bounce"
.row &%bounce_message_text%& "content of bounce"
.row &%bounce_return_body%& "include body if returning message"
+.row &%bounce_return_linesize_limit%& "limit on returned message line length"

+.cindex "size" "of bounce lines, limit"
+.cindex "bounce message" "line length limit"
+.cindex "limit" "bounce message line length"
+This option sets a limit in bytes on the line length of messages
+that are returned to senders due to delivery problems,
+when &%bounce_return_message%& is true.
+The default value corresponds to RFC limits.
+If the message being returned has lines longer than this value it is
+treated as if the &%bounce_return_size_limit%& (below) restriction was exceeded.
+
+The option also applies to bounces returned when an error is detected
+during reception of a messsage.
+In this case lines from the original are truncated.
+
+The option does not apply to messages generated by an &(autoreply)& transport.

.option bounce_return_message main boolean true
If this option is set false, none of the original message is included in
bounce messages generated by Exim. See also &%bounce_return_size_limit%& and

Cutthrough delivery is not supported via transport-filters or when DKIM signing
of outgoing messages is done, because it sends data to the ultimate destination
before the entire message has been received from the source.
When Exim receives a VRFY or EXPN command on a TCP/IP connection, it
runs the ACL specified by &%acl_smtp_vrfy%& or &%acl_smtp_expn%& (as
appropriate) in order to decide whether the command should be accepted or not.
-If no ACL is defined, the command is rejected.
