I have inherited a sysadmin position and dont know a ton about exim. I
had a crash-course by the previous guy, but still need some help. It
seems email sent within our network is being checked for blacklist. How
can I prevent this from happening?
Seems to me i could just move the 2 accept domains rules above the rbl
rule. Is this correct?
Thanks
Steve
my ACL:

# testing for an empty sending host field.
accept hosts = :
# Deny if the local part contains @ or % or / or | or !. These are rarely
# found in genuine local parts, but are often tried by people looking to
# circumvent relaying restrictions.
# Also deny if the local part starts with a dot. Empty components aren't
# strictly legal in RFC 2822, but Exim allows them because this is common.
# However, actually starting with a dot may cause trouble if the local
part
# is used as a file name (e.g. for a mailing list).
