A typo, sorry.

Here's the output from testing 207.217.34.34, a customer IP with nonexistant
DNS.

rcpt to: <caudo@???>

yahoo.com in local_domains? no (end of list)

My host_accept_relay looks similar to:
host_accept_relay = *.domain.com : 207.217.0.0/16 :
/opt/exim/etc/relay.netblocks

(I tested with the IP block present in the configure file as well for
testing)

And in /opt/exim/etc/relay.netblocks:
$ grep 207.217 /opt/exim/etc/relay.netblocks
# 2001/08 NETBLK-COMPANY-CIDR 207.217.0.0 - 207.217.255.255
207.217.0.0/16

It's apparently not matching the host_accept_relay line, or the file match.

Oh and, um, #-comments are valid in these types of files, right? Either
way, the configure line should match?

# grep 207.217 /opt/exim/etc/relay.netblocks
### the address space. For example, 'whois -h whois.arin.net 207.217.91.0'
# 2001/08 NETBLK-EARTHLINK-CIDR 207.217.0.0 - 207.217.255.255
207.217.0.0/16

Thanks again.
