This does not seem to work with files consisting of IP addresses; I get errors
every time. The plain text file without 'lsearch' or 'dbm' does work. I will have to
keep the file small. Is it necessary to use quotation marks in the following
manner:
sender_host_reject_recipients = "dbm;/etc/mail/block/hosts" or is that only
needed when there is more than on line?
