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:-

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
