Well sorry but after a bit of testing this seems to be a bug! It's 5pm
on a Friday so I'm going to put this into the exim bugzilla with
whatever info I have left. I've been running some tests with exim in
debug mode and some print statements in the source, and there's
something weird happening due to a small part of my configure file.
I've currently got mail going through the mailhub as a lower preference
mx record, but so far have had no leftover directories. When I did this
earlier today I ended up with 200 of them within a few minutes!
I had:
SPECIAL_RBLS = nomail.rhsbl.sorbs.net/$sender_address_domain : \
sbl.spamhaus.org/<|${lookup dnsdb {>|a=<|\
${lookup dnsdb {>|mxh=\
$sender_address_domain}}} }
...
acl_data:
warn condition = ${if eq {$acl_c1} {} }
dnslists = SPECIAL_RBLS
log_message = LOGGING: Site is special RBL listed:\
$dnslist_domain
Commenting out the 'sbl' bit in SPECIAL_RBLS prevented the problem from
occurring :-)
John.
