[Exim] sender_verify and mail-abuse.net

With this on all external mail is rejected with unknown local part in domain

Should it be switched off ??

It seems it is only relevant when all the users are sending to you from accounts/users you know which exist on the exim mail server ????

Sounds a bit like a choco fire guard :-)) I m sure I have misunderstood.

Please clarify

Also exim fails test 8 when I telnet to mail-abuse.net - Any ideas ?


:Relay test: #Test 7

<<< 501 <spamtest@???>: domain literals not allowed
>>> rset
