Hello Doc,
Thanks for the direction, would their be a way to flush this out though
while I fix the problem, I mean could you please provide a hint as to what I
should look at and then go from there.That would be much appreciated.
My ACL section looks like this:
begin acl
#!!# ACL that is used after the RCPT command
check_recipient:
# Exim 3 had no checking on -bs messages, so for compatibility
# we accept if the source is local SMTP (i.e. not over TCP/IP).
# We do this by testing for an empty sending host field.
accept hosts = :
accept recipients = postmaster@???
deny message = host is listed in $dnslist_domain
dnslists =
spamhaus.relays.osirusoft.com:relays.osirusoft.com:relays.visi.com
deny senders = *@partial-dbm;/usr/local/exim4/filter/blocked.dbm :
dbm;/usr/local/exim4/filter/blocked.dbm
deny message = unrouteable address
!verify = recipient
accept domains = +local_domains
accept hosts = +relay_hosts
deny message = relay not permitted
#!!# ACL that is used after the DATA command
check_message:
accept
The configure file was created from the convert script. It looks pretty
standard. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Aly.
