Hi all,
I am having a really confusing time with Exim 4.20 on FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE
(not that I think that's particularly relevant - it's far more likely to me
that's at fault here...)
The machine in question is located at a customer's site, and works fine
apart from one small thing - two of their main correspondents
intermittently pick up IP addresses that are blacklisted at
multihop.dsbl.org. In an attempt to short circuit the ACL for the two
addresses before they get as far as the blacklist tests, I have this in
acl_check_rcpt:
accept senders = *@domain1.co.uk : mailbox@???
endpass
message = unknown user
verify = recipient
deny message = message rejected. Sender IP address ($sender_host_address) is blacklisted at $dnslist_domain\n$dnslist_text
dnslists = blackholes.mail-abuse.org:\
dialups.mail-abuse.org:\
list.dsbl.org
multihop.dsbl.org
Testing this setup with `exim -bh <blacklisted IP address>' accepts mail
from the two domains in question, but in real life, they are still rejected
with the message from the deny ACL block, above.
In practical terms, it's not too much of a hassle - I have removed
multihop.dsbl.org from dnslists. But for my own peace of mind, can anyone
say what's happening? I understood it that an `accept' was just that - if
its conditions were met, the message would be accepted, regardless of any
subsequent `deny' blocks that would cause it to be rejected. Am I just
missing the point somewhere?
Thanks for your time,
Dan
