Here's what I have in my exim config (stock exim 3.33 from the freebsd ports
collection)
sender_reject = @@partial-lsearch*;/usr/local/etc/exim/blocked.senders
My blocked.senders file has entries like, for example,
*.indiainfoline.com *
However, when I try
blackehlo# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
