Hi all,

I'm having some trouble with my acl_smtp_rcpt ACL, basically in the acl is a
deny line which should deny all the hosts/networks in the flat file. However
for 1 ip address is seems to not work.

Here is the ACL:

#!!# ACL that is used after the RCPT command
check_recipient:
  accept  hosts = :
  accept  recipients = abuse@???
  deny    hosts = /tmp/spamblock-nets
  deny    senders = @@lsearch*;/usr/local/etc/spamblock-authors
  require verify = sender
  accept  domains = +local_domains
  accept  hosts = +relay_hosts
  deny    message = relay not permitted


The file /tmp/spamblock-nets contains all the networks and IP
addresses *not* allowed to relay through the server. That file has 500+ lines
so I won't include it here.

Here are the last 5 line of /tmp/spamblock-nets:

#spam source
81.37.0.0/16
#spam source
84.199.21.0/24
194.183.111.85/32

Here is the output of "exim -C /tmp/configure -bh 194.183.111.85":
Note: /tmp/configure is identical to the running config except for the "deny
hosts = /tmp/spamblock-nets" line, which in the running config is "deny hosts
=
/usr/local/etc/spamblock-nets".
