I hate to follow up to myself, being an old Usenet groupie, but I thought of
something we had not tried.
For the rbl_hosts, everything we've seen says to enclose multiple entries in
quotes:
rbl_hosts = "! 1.2.3.4/32 : ! 5.6.7.0/24 : \
! net32-dbm;/etc/exim/db/whitelist.db : 0.0.0.0/0"
This does not work for us, for some reason. However, removing the quotes:
rbl_hosts = ! 1.2.3.4/32 : ! 5.6.7.0/24 : etc.
works just fine. Not being one to question it if it allows us to use the
filtering we want with the few exclusions we need, I'll take it.
Thanks for the replies.
