Hi Vineet!

I see. Thanks for pointing out the intricacies of Exim 3 sender
verification. Since I started with Exim 4.04, I never made it that
far in the Exim 3 book. *g*

There is an option called recipients_reject_except in Exim 3. It is
supposed to be used for Postmaster addresses, which should accept mail
even if it got refused due to other policy checks. Although not
documented in the book, this is probably an address list. I don't
know, however, whether it overrides sender verification. Just try
setting it to "p.com" or "*@p.com" and run some tests. Sure, it's an
all or nothing switch, but if your user deems false positives
unacceptable, he should be prepared for some increase in spam (hehe).

Your current solution does not sound too bad, and what you're trying
to achieve is almost trivial using Exim 4 ACLs. You should really
upgrade (do I sound like Nico now?).
