Hi all:
as a followup and as suggested by a user I ran the following to verify an
email address that I am trying to block from within my domain and I get the
following response ... It does not seem to be rejecting the address. I have
also included the appropriate sections from my configure file.
# ./exim -bh 204.101.215.19
**** SMTP testing session as if from host 204.101.215.19
**** Not for real!
>>> looking up host name for 204.101.215.19
>>> IP address lookup yielded earth.netwave.ca
>>> RBL lookup: 19.215.101.204.rbl.maps.vix.com
220 earth.netwave.ca ESMTP Exim 2.04 #1 Tue, 10 Jul 2001 13:45:55 -0400
mail from: $random$@???
>>> verifying $random$@???
250 <$random$@???> is syntactically correct

Subject: Re: [Exim] How to reject sender
You should first try running the following test and see if you can either
find out yourself what went wrong, or be able to provide the list with more
detailed information as to the symptoms.
# exim -bh <ip address>
This tests fakes an SMTP session (if you don't know what an SMTP session
looks like, you need to look at RFC2821, Appendix D will get you started) so
you can pretend to be the sender you are wanting to reject and see what exim
is "thinking" during the session. Specifically, after you do the MAIL from:
<sender@???>, you will see everything that exim checks in regards to
that address. If you can't resolve the problem with this information, send
it to the list along with the appropriate lines in your exim.conf and
someone will be much better equipped to help you.
