Hi again folks
Just to let you know I figured out what the problem was in the end:
although I'm still a little puzzled as to why it was happening.
I have an:
accept authenticated = *
in my acl, ^followed^ by a
deny message = . . . . .
dnslists =
which looks to the dnsbl's I'm using.
As far as I understood the ACL's order mattered, much like routers, so I
would have thought that if a message was coming in from an asmtp
session, it would get caught by the "accept authenticated = *" ACL and
proceed to routing and delivering the message.
This, however, does not seem to be the case! How I got it to work was
to ammend my dnsbl blocks to read something along the lines of
deny !authenticated = *
message = . . . .
dnslists = . . .
Somehow it still doesn't see right though that I have to specify it for
each of my dnsbl lookups . . .
Later
Konrad
