Hi Nico
I was playing around with iplsearch last night and found it producing
some strange errors in my log files:

004-06-21 23:29:42 H=alias-1.c10-ave-mta2.cnet.com [206.16.1.161]
F=<CNET_Networks_#3.124740.3334393239363334.b@???>
temporarily rejected RCPT <xxxxxxxxxx@???>:
"alias-1.c10-ave-mta2.cnet.com" is not a valid iplsearch key

and even more interestingly a spam attempt being passed on by my
secondary MX

2004-06-21 23:30:32 H=fury.surfkitchen.com [10.1.1.8]
F=<Whitehead5Ackerman@???> temporarily rejected RCPT
<xxx@???>: "fury.surfkitchen.com" is not a valid iplsearch
key

Anyhow, I was just wondering whether there was any documentation on the
correct use of iplsearch? I can't seem to find it in the latest spec or
in the paper manual ...

I was trying to use it as follows:

deny message = rejected because $sender_host_address is in an internal
blacklist. If you feel this to be in error, please contact
postmaster@??? from another e-mail source.
hosts = iplsearch;/usr/local/exim/internal_list

maybe just the way I was trying to use it?

Thanks
Konrad
