Subject: [EXIM] sender_verify_except_hosts question
I suspect this is a simple error on my part, but I don't seem to be
able to get sender_verify_except_hosts working correctly, so I'm
hoping someone can point out my mistake.

My exim configure file contains the following:-

sender_verify = true
sender_verify_fixup = true
headers_check_syntax = true
headers_sender_verify = true
headers_sender_verify_errmsg = true

# Following are hosts not verified, iee does not use a valid sender
sender_verify_except_hosts = "*iee.org.uk"

I have also tried "iee.org.uk" without the "*" in front too, but in
both cases I get a rejectlog entry:-

1998-09-08 08:02:36 0zGHnP-0000Dg-00 rejected from punt-11.mail.demon.net [194.217.242.34]: no valid sender in message headers: return path is <nobody@???>

So the question is how do I get exim to accept messages from
iee.org.uk, without turning off sender verification?

Thanks for any help,
Matt
