...... which means I am still vunerable

What I have in check_rcpt is:
    deny message = VIRUS: Caught the W32/Mimail virus
    senders = james@???


which I thought would reject an email if the sender was james@...... but it
didn't

Please can someone enlighten me and also explain how I can test this ACL

thank you,

Graham
