i added the configuration area at http://www.exim.org/howto/rbl.html to my exim, restarted, its been running on 2 of my servers for
about 12 hours now. both get quite alot of email, i did the grep thing, nothing

The rejected logs from (the mainlog) look like:

2002-02-03 19:06:35 recipients refused from [195.17.242.40] (RBL
relays.ordb.org)

The rejectlog has same format, e.g.:

2002-02-03 14:45:00 recipients refused from chaca1.interonda.com.ar
[200.5.116.82] (RBL relays.ordb.org)

So grep for "RBL".

p.s. RBL works great!
