Greg,

You are correct on your first assumption. However, I do not have a deny
statement like the one you wrote.

Another thing that I tried was:

    require    verify = sender
            domains = !+local_domains


Thinking that the domains statement would except those senders listed in
local domains.

Alas, I have been RTFM-ing the ACL chapter several times over now and I'm
still having trouble grasping the sytax and order of the commands! I wish
there was a place that had lots of examples and descriptions.

Anyway, I will do more reading and trial-and-error.

Thanks,

- D
