Hi Greg.
Thanks for your help.
Yes I am using ver 3. but 3.34 though :).....
I use amavis with exim and when I ran exim -bv I found out that the amavis director what letting it through.
So as you suggested, I stuck no_verify in that director. It works real well now.
I also found out why I have been receiving all the "<>" bounced mesages from aol in the first place.
Its a return-path forgery of non-existent users on one of our domains from some spam attempt to the aol bunch.
I read the list on what I could do about forgery....unfortunately, nothing much :(....
Well...now that this is taken care of. I can concentrate on fixing my other problem.
Likewise with that I also viewed the debug output of exim -bv and at the end of the day it would still deliver localuser@??? despite the fact that there was no entry in the virtual part of it. where I did try no_verify on the localuser director. heh...:).... anyways....any suggestions there would be great as well
Thanks a bunch again
Cheers
Chris

[You forgot to mention which Exim version you're using -- I'll assume
3.36 based on the config excerpts you gave.]

I bet you have a director that accepts all addresses -- receiver_verify
is sort-of useless in this case. You need to set no_verify on this
director.
To debug this yourself, you need to ask Exim why it accepts the address
<zzaaddsss-a-s-d-a@???>:
exim -bt <zzaaddsss-a-s-d-a@???>
exim -bv <zzaaddsss-a-s-d-a@???>
(RTFM to understand the difference between -bt and -bv.)
If the results aren't clear, add -dN, for increasing values of N up to
11, until you get it.
