yes read that however
Option: sender_verify_hosts
If `sender_verify' or `sender_try_verify' is true, this option specifies a
list of hosts and RFC 1413 identifications to which sender verification
applies. The check caused by `headers_sender_verify' also happens only for
matching hosts. See chapter "Verification of incoming mail" for further
details.

As u will see my config allows that particular host not to have the sender
verified

I have actually set this
here is my config for this

sender_address_relay = "seol.net.au:lsearch;/etc/virtualmail/ALLDOMAINS"
sender_reject_recipients = "lsearch;/etc/virtualmail/BLOCKSENDER"
host_reject_recipients = "+warn_unknown:lsearch;/etc/virtualmail/BLOCKHOST"
host_accept_relay =
"203.23.53.0/24:139.130.31.142/32:lsearch;/usr/exim/popauth"
receiver_verify
sender_verify
sender_verify_hosts = "! mail.seol.net.au: ! 203.23.53.12/32:*"

As I understand it it should just allow emails from 203.23.53.12 to go
straight through for my system filter to clean up :)
It shouldn't be stopped by this as it is then verifying the sender or am I
reading it wrong.
>>> in sender_address_relay? no (end of list)
